Ingredients
- 250 g high-gluten flour
- 15 g milk powder
- 30 g sugar
- 3 g dry yeast
- 1 egg
- 130 g milk
- 2 g salt
- 25 g butter
- 100-200 g beef slices
- 2 tbsp teriyaki sauce
- 0.5 bowl water
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 red onion
- to taste fresh arugula
- to taste cheese slices
- to taste sesame seeds
- to taste egg wash
Instructions
- 1Add dry ingredients and milk
Place high-gluten flour, milk powder, sugar, dry yeast, egg, and milk into the stand mixer bowl to begin forming the dough.
Tip: Ensure the yeast does not directly touch the salt or sugar when adding ingredients to maintain yeast activity. - 2Incorporate butter and salt
Add softened butter and salt to the previously mixed dough inside the stand mixer bowl, then continue kneading until fully incorporated.
Tip: Adding butter after the initial dough forms helps gluten development for a softer texture. - 3Divide the dough
Remove the fully kneaded and proofed dough from the mixer, place it on a clean countertop, and divide it into 8 equal portions.
Tip: Use a digital kitchen scale to weigh each piece for even baking sizes. - 4Shape dough balls
Take each divided piece of dough and roll them firmly against the surface into smooth, round balls.
Tip: Tuck the edges underneath while rolling to create a tight surface tension on top. - 5Brush with egg wash
Gently brush a layer of beaten egg wash over the surface of each proofed dough ball arranged on a baking sheet.
Tip: Brush lightly to avoid deflating the delicate proofed dough. - 6Add sesame seeds
Sprinkle sesame seeds evenly over the egg-washed dough buns before placing them into the oven to bake.
Tip: Sprinkle from a slight height to distribute the seeds evenly across all the buns.
