I just tried this recipe, and wanted to save others the grief. Unfortunately the cookie top was a total fail. I suspect the amount of water in the cookie caused the butter to seperate and completely melt off the bread, resulting in a soft mess around the buns. The bread itself is fine though.
Struggling to get the dough right. It’s too doughy inside. Pls help. This is my 9th attempt 😢
