  6. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  7. **Prepare the Coffee Topping (makes enough for 20 buns):**

  11. Sift in 200g all-purpose flour and mix on low speed until just combined.
  12. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  13. **Prepare the Sweet Dough (makes enough for 20 buns):**

  16. Add 1 large egg and 150ml lukewarm water (or milk) and mix on low speed for 1 minute.
