Move to greased bowl and cover with wax paper or plastic wrap and a towel. Let rise and then shape and bake as usual.
You can also shape the unrisen dough into buns and cover and rise in frig overnight. Bring out while letting the oven come to temperature and bake.
I figured out how small the batch needs to be to use my food processer with the dough blade earlier this year - made 6 buns. Just enough for me!
