Ingredients

• 200 grams Gluten-free flour blend
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 180 milliliters Warm milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 50 grams Unsalted butter (or dairy-free alternative)
• 1 large Egg
• 100 grams Beef floss
• 1 for egg wash Egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1 tablespoon Black sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour blend, xanthan gum, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate small bowl, whisk the warm milk and melted butter together.

Step 3

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir with a spoon until combined.

Step 4

Add the egg and mix until a dough begins to form. The dough will be sticky at this stage.

Step 5

Continue to knead the dough in the bowl for about 3-5 minutes until smooth.

Step 6

Cover the bowl with a clean towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for approximately 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 8

Once the dough has risen, gently deflate it and divide it into 8 equal portions.

Step 9

Flatten each portion into a disc and place about 12 grams of beef floss in the center.

Step 10

Gather the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch them together to seal. Roll the sealed buns gently to form a smooth ball.

Step 11

Place the buns seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 12

In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolk and water together to create an egg wash.

Step 13

Brush each bun lightly with the egg wash and sprinkle with black sesame seeds.

Step 14

Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 15

Allow the buns to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them while warm!
