Recipe:

2.5 cup of high protein flour (can also use all purpose flour)
1 egg
1 packet of yeast
1/4 cup of warm water *
3 tbsp of sugar
1/2 tsp of salt
1 stick of butter (to brush and glaze the bun)

* you can also use warm milk

Instruction:

1) Dissolve yeast in warm water, add a little bit of sugar (1 tsp) to active the yeast faster. Let it stand until creamy (abt 10 minutes)
2) Put together sugar, salt and 1/2 cup of flour first. Add in the egg and the yeast. Add 1/2 cup of flour one at the time until finish. Mixed everything until it combine.
3) Lightly flour the counter top or your container. Knead the flour for 8 minutes. Put in the container and cover with damp towel.
4) Let it rise to double of its original size. Sometime, I just let it rise for 10~15 minutes.
5) Punch the flour to let the gas out. Roll on lightly floured surface.
6) Brush the rolled flour with butter.
7) Cut a strip of the rolled flour and wrap around the sausage.
8) Arrange them in a baking dish, about 1/2 inch apart. Brush off with butter.
9) Let it rise for 40 min before baking or you can cover them with plastic wrap and keep it refrigerate for overnight (bake it tommorrow morning)
10) Bake at 200 C for 14~15 mins

Otherwise, you can also use ready made pastry sheet (available at leading supermarket or you can also check up in any supplier for bakery supplies and accessories). Rolled the sheet around the sausage, cut the pastry sheet until you reach the sausage (dont cut the sausage off!!), brush of with egg. Bake at 180 C for 20~25 min. But this one will be crispy.
