  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, eggs, and the yeast mixture. 
  4. In the electric stand mixer, on low speed slowly incorporate the egg mixture into the flour mixture. 
  5. Increase the speed to medium to fully incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry. Allow the dough to be mixed for another 5 minutes. The dough should be very silky and not stiff like regular bread dough. 
  6. In a warn area, let the dough rise until it roughly doubles in size, about 1 hour. 
  7. Punch down the dough and wrap tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

  9. For egg wash, beat 1 egg into a small bowl with a fork until combined. 
  10. Brush the tops of the buns with egg wash, sprinkle with Maldon salt and set in a warm place to proof for 40 minutes until they rise, but are not doubled, and spread slightly. 
  11. Preheat oven to 350°F. bake the buns for 15-17 minutes, until the tops are golden brown, and a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. 
  12. Transfer to cooling rack and cool completely. Cut open buns once cooled and insert hot dog or sausage to serve
