These sausage mini buns are pillowy and soft while being filled with savory sausage. Loaded with sausage, they make an addictive snack or appetizer before any meal.
To make the sausage mini buns, you start by making a dough by mixing warm milk with sugar, yeast, egg, butter, olive oil, flour, and salt until combined. Then, after it rises for 1 hour, it gets divided into buns which are then stuffed with sausages. After that, the buns get boiled before being baked in the oven.
What are Sausage Mini Buns?
Sausage mini buns are homemade buns that are stuffed with mini sausages. Made with a mixture of flour, yeast, milk, eggs, butter, sugar, and salt, the buns are fluffy and rich with a slightly sweet flavor.
Pro Tips
- Don’t overheat the milk or else it will kill the yeast. The ideal temperature to heat it to is around 100 F to 110 F (37.7 C to 43.3 C).
- Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic for the best texture.
- If you would like to ensure that the buns are even sizes, you can weigh each portion of dough to make sure they are all the same size.
- Brush the buns with melted butter while they are still warm so that the butter can soak into the buns slightly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why Isn’t the Dough Rising?
Yeast-based dough can be challenging to make as yeast needs particular conditions in order to work. Make sure that the yeast you use is nice and fresh so that it will help the dough rise easily. You should also make sure that you allow the dough to rise in a warm location as it will rise more slowly if your kitchen is too cold.
Can I Make Sausage Mini Buns Dairy-Free?
Yes, for a dairy-free version, you can replace the milk with your favorite plant milk and the butter with plant-based butter.
