- Cut into 12 pieces and arrange cut-side up in the roasting tin. Cover with oiled cling film or proving bag. Leave in a warm place to rise for about 30 minutes or until pieces are touching.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 220°c/200°c Fan/Gas 7 for 25 minutes, covering the buns loosely with tin foil after 15 minutes to prevent them from browning too much. Transfer to a wire rack.
