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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release the air. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 9

Before baking, brush the tops of the buns with a little milk or the beaten egg wash, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Step 10

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until buns are golden brown.

Step 11

Allow the buns to cool on a wire rack before serving.
