Instant Pot Meat Bread

After posting Siopao/ Steam Buns and getting a lot of reactions and questions about it, I decided on this Meat Bread. This is made in my Instant Pot Duo Crisp plus Air fryer lid.

I had this when I was in the Philippines. We have this for snacks all the time.

Today, I will teach you:

1. How to make Meat Bread using my dough recipe. This recipe yields very fluffy and soft buns.
2. How to store this meat bread.
3. How to reheat them in the Instant Pot.
4. How long do you cook meat bread in the Instant Pot?

Equipment

I want to emphasize each instant pot is different, and some settings may not be on the instant pot you got. In my case, I am using Instant Pot Duo Crisp 11-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker with Air Fryer Lid, 8 Quart. This Instant pot doesn’t have the rice setting, so I am using the pressure cooker setting.

Ingredients for Instant Pot Meat Bread

• Active dry yeast- make sure that you use the correct one instead of instant dry yeast. When I was testing this Ube Pandesal recipe using fast-rise yeast, the result was complex and had a lot of holes in it.
• Sugar – I used granulated sugar.
• Warm water & warm fresh milk
• All-purpose flour some tried making this using bread flour, and whole wheat flour.
• Butter- you need to use melted butter in this recipe can use unsalted butter and salted butter.
• Eggs- at room temperature.
• Salt & sugar

What Filling Recipe Did I Use?

I have various Steam Buns Recipe Filling on the blog and all of them are tasty and delicious. You can use the list below to fill your steam buns.

• Gua Bao  -I use pork belly in this recipe. You can change the meat into pork roast or pork shoulder
• Chicken/ Pork Filling– this is on the sweeter side, which is my favorite. Use pork instead of chicken.

How to Store?

They can be frozen. 🙂 Wrap them in a plastic and freeze. When ready, wrap in a damp towel and microwave for 20-30 minutes.
