There is a trick to that. when you roll out the bun, leave a hump in the middle and make the edges very thin. In fact, you can make them thinner as you pull the dough out to wrap around the filling. With the thiner edges it is a lot easier to make the neat little pleats, too. The best recipe that I ever found on the internet for making them was by David Soo. I can't find the link right now but he should be easy to find because I think it is the only thing that he ever posted on the internet. if you want to PM me and give me your email address, I would be more than happy to send you a copy.
