Helpful tips: this is a wet dough recipe. That’s why it’s so much more fluffier. You can add 1/4 cup of extra flour if needed but probably no more than that. Once you go through all the knead time and have gone through the first rest and it’s doubled in size, it will be less sticky. Don’t waste and throw away your dough just because it’s wet. Make sure you are activating your yeast if they are not instant yeast. It’s a sweet dough so will take longer to rise. You can proof it in the oven if needed. This is the steps. Turn your oven to the lowest possible temp for one minute. Then turn off the power. Then place the dough in there to rise. Note in my video the size of the buns right after shaping compared to after I finished resting it and before baking. They fill up all the gaps and spaces between the buns. They need to get fluffy before going into the oven.
