In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
Warm the milk to about 37°C (98°F) and add to the dry ingredients.
Melt the butter and add it to the mixture.
Add the whole egg and mix everything together until a dough begins to form.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the kneaded dough into a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to remove the excess air.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions.
Flatten each portion into a disk, place a sausage in the center, and wrap the dough around the sausage, pinching the seams to seal.
Place the wrapped sausage buns seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cover the buns with a damp cloth and let them proof for another 15-20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F).
In a small bowl, beat the remaining egg with water to create an egg wash.
Brush the tops of the buns with the egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the buns are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack before serving.
