Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 50 grams unsalted butter
- 25 grams sugar
- 150 milliliters whole milk
- 1 large egg
- 100 grams low sodium cooked beef floss
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
Instructions
In a small saucepan, heat the milk until warm (about 110°F or 43°C). Remove from heat and add sugar and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the milk and yeast mixture, one egg, and softened butter.
Knead the mixture into a dough until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes. If using a stand mixer, knead with a dough hook on medium speed.
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release the air. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions.
Flatten each portion into a disc, place about 1 tablespoon of low sodium beef floss in the center, and pinch the edges to seal tightly.
Place buns seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover with a towel, and let them rise again for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Before baking, brush the tops of the buns with a little milk or the beaten egg wash, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until buns are golden brown.
Allow the buns to cool on a wire rack before serving.
