Awesome recipe. Yes, they take some time to make and yes, they take some skill, but they turned out perfectly. I used my stand mixer and let the dough rise quite awhile the first time since it was cold in my kitchen. One secret to patting out the topping is to knead each ball in your hand for a minute to warm it up. Then pat it out on waxed paper and lay it on top of the bread. I also flattened out each dough ball a little so they would be more like hamburger bun shape which is what I'm used to from bakeries. Excellent recipe and I will definitely make this again. The bread turned out light and flavorful.
