Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Instant yeast
- 50 grams Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 250 milliliters Milk
- 50 grams Butter
- 300 grams Ground beef or pork
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 Egg
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
In a small saucepan, melt the butter and add the milk. Heat until lukewarm.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, instant yeast, and salt.
Pour the lukewarm milk and butter mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan, sauté for 2-3 minutes until soft and fragrant.
Add ground beef or pork and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in soy sauce, oyster sauce, and black pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from heat and let the filling cool.
After dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 16 equal parts.
Roll each dough piece into a ball and flatten into a disc.
Place a tablespoon of the meat filling in the center of each disc.
Gather the edges of the dough around the filling and pinch to seal, forming a bun. Place sealed side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cover the buns with a damp cloth and let them rest for 15-20 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Beat the egg with 2 tablespoons of water to make an egg wash.
Brush each bun with the egg wash.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
