Ingredients

• 400 grams All-purpose flour
• 7 grams Instant yeast
• 30 grams Sugar
• 5 grams Salt
• 250 milliliters Milk
• 50 grams Butter
• 1 whole Egg
• 8 pieces Sausage
• 1 whole Egg (for egg wash)
• 15 milliliters Water (for egg wash)
• 10 grams Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Warm the milk to about 37°C (98°F) and add to the dry ingredients.

Step 3

Melt the butter and add it to the mixture.

Step 4

Add the whole egg and mix everything together until a dough begins to form.

Step 5

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to remove the excess air.

Step 8

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions.

Step 9

Flatten each portion into a disk, place a sausage in the center, and wrap the dough around the sausage, pinching the seams to seal.

Step 10

Place the wrapped sausage buns seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 11

Cover the buns with a damp cloth and let them proof for another 15-20 minutes.

Step 12

Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F).

Step 13

In a small bowl, beat the remaining egg with water to create an egg wash.

Step 14

Brush the tops of the buns with the egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Step 15

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the buns are golden brown.

Step 16

Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack before serving.
