Make the tangzhong. Whisk all tangzhong ingredients in a small pot until no lumps remain. Then stir continuously over medium heat until the mixture resembles mashed potatoes. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 mins. Cover it with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming

To the bowl of a stand mixer, add the tangzhong along with all other dough ingredients except for butter. Using the dough hook attachment, mix until the dough comes together. Then add the butter and knead until smooth

Proof for 1-2hrs or until doubled in size

Divide the dough into 8 equal sections and shape them into balls. Cover and let them rest for 15-20mins

Doing one at a time, roll out and shape each dough ball as shown in the reel. After you shape all 8 balls into a log, use floss to cut each log in half. Place into a lined 11”x11” baking pan

Cover and let rise for ~30mins-1hr or until the dough is noticeably puffy and fills up the pan
