Cover with towel; let stand 3 minutes. Flatten into 3 3/4" rounds. (should weigh about 4 ounces each) Cover with a towel; let rise another 15 minutes.
• At this point, you can place another light-weight cookie sheet on top of the buns to keep the buns flatter but I don't think it's necessary. Let them rise another 25 minutes or until almost doubled in size (dough should hold slight indentation when gently pressed).

Cover and let stand until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Punch down the dough and divide into 12 portions They should be a little larger than a golf ball. Make tight balls out of the dough by pulling the dough tightly around and pinching it at the bottom. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. After the rolls sit for a minute and relax, flatten each ball with the palm of your hand until it is 3 to 4 inches wide. You may want to oil your hand first. Set rolls aside until they double in size, about 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Mix together the egg yolk and 1 tablespoon of water in a cup or small bowl. Brush onto the tops of the rolls. Position 2 oven racks so they are not too close to the top or bottom of the oven.
