Ingredients
Instructions
Make the dough
Combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Pour in the milk and mix until a shaggy dough forms. Add the softened butter and knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
First rise
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rest in a warm spot until it doubles in size, about 30 minutes.
Shape the buns
Punch down the dough and divide it into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long oval shape, about the length of your sausage. Place a sausage in the center of each oval and wrap the dough around it, pinching the seams to seal.
Second rise
Place the shaped buns on a parchment-lined baking sheet, seam-side down. Cover loosely and let them rise again until they're about 1.5 times their size, roughly 20 minutes.
Finish and bake
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Beat the egg and brush the tops of the buns generously. Sprinkle with chopped scallions and sesame seeds. Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
