My First Egg Bun-a-loaf

I love those pillowy soft savoury buns especially the otah filled ones from Prima Deli. Unfortunately, budget conscious me decided I cannot buy those things too often. hahaha. I live in a house of 7 so you do the Math. What's the follow up to that? Learn how to bake them of course.
