8.Preheat the oven at 180c and bake for 25 mins and before the  last 5 mins brush the top of the buns with the milk to get a nice golden brown colour and serve the bun hot with cuppa tea or coffee.

Note:

1. To keep it in a warm place,you can switch on the microwave and place the bowl inside it ,so that it stays warm due to the heat of the lamp.
2. If the dough has not doubled in size,,please stop proceeding it furthur .Only if the dough has doubled,it means the yeast is alive and you get the proper bread/bun texture.
3. Brushing the milk on the buns give you a nice brown colour crust.
