Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Activate the yeast by combining warm milk with sugar, then sprinkle yeast and let sit until bubbly.
  • Prepare the dough by whisking flour and salt, make a well, add yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg.
  • Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a greased bowl covered with a cloth for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  • Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes until fully cooked.
  • Shape the buns by dividing the risen dough into 12 pieces, roll into balls, and fill with sausage and cheese.
  • Form flower shapes by pinching dough at the top and pressing down at the base.
  • Let the formed buns rise for 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with seeds if desired.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and fragrant.

Notes

Store in an airtight container; they freeze well and can be reheated in the oven for best texture.
