If you do not have a bun pan, just line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Prep your yeast! Combine the water + warm water (and mix until honey is dissolved) in a small mixing bowl or pyrex measuring cup. Sprinkle in the yeast and give a light stir. Set your timer for 7 minutes - be exact!
Combine all dry ingredients in your mixer bowl
In a separate bowl, combine all wet ingredients
When your yeast is done proofing (after 7 minutes), add your mixed wet ingredients into your mixing bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix until it resembles thick paste. Add in your yeast mixture and mix for about 2 minutes or until thick and smooth. **You might need to stop to scrape down the sides. With wet hands, scoop out your mixture either onto parchment lined cookie sheets or your bun pan! (This mixture can make 8 total buns or 6 large buns). If making 8 buns, it should be around 1/2 cup of dough. Spray the tops of the dough with avocado oil (or any oil of choice) and flatten / shape.
Allow Buns to rise for about an hour in a warm location (I typically warm mine in the oven). I also place cling wrap over my pan + a towel to help the rise. After an hour of rising, bake in a preheated oven of 375 between 18- 20 minutes. If you made 6 large buns, it will be more around 25 minutes. (or until the tops are golden brown).
Allow to cool on wire racks and enjoy!
