Put the warm water in a measuring jug or bowl. Add sugar, stir to dissolve and add the yeast. Stir to mix. Set aside for 10-15 minutes or until the yeast mixture is frothy.

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover the bowl with a piece of cling film and set aside in a warm place for about 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the dough has doubled in bulk.

Place the dough on a floured board. Let the dough rest for about 5 minutes. Flatten the dough with your palm, and roll into a thin rectangular shape (about 12 by 8-inches) with a rolling pin. Spread the surface with about peanut oil, sugar, sea salt, and peanuts. Starting with the edge closest (the long end) to you and roll up the dough. Then gently roll the dough to even it. Roll up the dough as tightly as you can. Pinch both ends, and slice the log into ¾ to 1-inch rounds. Place the rolls on the parchment paper.

Set the steamer on high heat and steam the buns over rapid boiling water for about 8 to 10 minutes.
