In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and instant yeast.
Warm the low-fat milk to lukewarm temperature and combine it with olive oil and honey in a separate bowl.
Pour the liquid mixture into the flour and yeast bowl. Add salt, and mix to form a soft dough.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release air and divide it into 8 equal portions.
Shape each portion into a ball and flatten it slightly. Place a tablespoon of beef floss in the center of each portion. Gather the edges of the dough and pinch to seal, forming a bun.
Place the buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover them loosely and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush the surface of each bun with the egg wash.
Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley and sesame seeds on top of each bun.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Allow the buns to cool on a wire rack before serving.
