Add yeast mixture and the remaining flour, switching to sturdy spoon Batter should be thick and sticky but smooth, with all flour thoroughly dissolved. Put dough in two small pie or cake pans that have been sprayed with non-stick spray and dusted with cornmeal. Cover with wax paper or plastic wrap that has also been sprayed. Let rise about an hour. Remove plastic wrap and discard. Spray tops of buns with non-stick spray and bake in center of oven at 375º for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. As rolls cool in the panson rack for about 20 minutes, spray with non-stick spray again to keep soft. Wait for at least an hour before slicing. Fil with your choice of meat, cheese, etc..
