Getting Creative with Buns (Lotus Buns & Peanut Buns)

Every other week on a Saturday, I will made a big portion of sweet bun dough. I will then use one half of it and freeze the other half for the following week. And usually, I will take out my Alex Goh's bread recipe book (I forgot the title) to hunt for new ideas. If you have this book, you will know what I mean. There are so many different type of breads and buns in this book of various shapes and sizes.
This week, I decided on making Peanut Buns and Lotus Buns. For the former, the bun is in the shape of a cross and as for the latter, it is supposed to shape like a butterfly. I know it is not easy, but do try to visualize based on this pic: :)
