After all that, they look a little sad. I think they're a bit pale because I diluted the yolk wash with milk thinking I didn't have enough volume to coat all the buns, but it would have been fine.
I think the main issue is that I might have over-proofed a bit during the first proofing. I've had the fireplace on all day since I used it this morning to get the starter active, and I probably needn't have put the dough nearby for proofing since the whole room had warmed up. I noticed before putting them in the oven that they didn't get as puffy as I expected during the second proof, so I'm not surprised they didn't rise as much as I'd have liked.

Nevertheless, I have hope for a fluffy interior and good crumb. They still look very usable as buns. I'll post an interior shot once they're cool.
