Ingredients

• 350 grams All-purpose flour
• 200 milliliters Milk
• 50 grams Sugar
• 5 grams Salt
• 7 grams Dry yeast
• 50 grams Unsalted butter
• 1 large Egg
• 150 grams Beef floss
• 100 grams Mayonnaise
• 2 stalks Scallions
• 10 grams White sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, warm the milk until it is lukewarm (about 38°C or 100°F).

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the lukewarm milk with sugar and dry yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 3

In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt.

Step 4

Add the yeast mixture, egg, and butter into the flour mixture. Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes by hand or 5 minutes with a stand mixer equipped with a dough hook.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with cling wrap or a damp towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Step 6

Once risen, punch down the dough to release the air. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and form each portion into a ball.

Step 7

Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 8

Place each dough ball onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each bun. Cover the tray with a damp cloth and let the dough rise again for 20-30 minutes or until puffy.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 10

Allow the buns to cool on a wire rack.

Step 11

While the buns are cooling, finely chop the scallions and mix with mayonnaise.

Step 12

Once the buns have cooled slightly, cut a slit on each bun. Be careful not to cut all the way through.

Step 13

Open each bun gently and spread a layer of the scallion mayonnaise inside.

Step 14

Fill each bun generously with beef floss.

Step 15

Sprinkle the top with white sesame seeds for added texture and garnish, serve and enjoy.
