2. Place the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Cut the dough into 18 slices (60 g each). Shape each piece of dough into a smooth round ball by gently rolling it between your palms. Place the buns on the baking sheets about 2.5 cm apart. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.

Place the buns into the water for 30 seconds, then carefully flip them over and wait another 30 seconds. Remove the buns from the pot and repeat the process with the remaining ones.
