Instructions

Prepare the Yeast Mixture

  • Warm the water in the microwave for 35 seconds. Add the active dry yeast and sugar. Mix and let sit for 5 minutes until bubbles form. Add mixture to the 1 cup flour. and let it sit for forty-five minutes.

Make the Meat Bread Dough

  • Place the hook attachment in your electric mixer.
    When the yeast mixture is ready, place flour and salt in the small bowl and mix using a wire whisk. Warm the milk for 45 seconds and then place the warm milk, melted butter, egg, and sugar into the stand mixer bowl. Mix for one minute and add the yeast mixture and flour mixture. Mix using the hook attachment until ingredients are incorporated. Mix for seven minutes.
  • Sprinkle flour on the working surface and transfer the dough and form into a ball. Place dough in a greased bowl and let sit, covered with cloth, at a warm temperature for 1 hour.
  • When ready, divide the dough into a round dough and divide it into sixteen pieces using the dough cutter. You can also cut dough and weigh 60 grams each and using your palm flatten and fill with one tablespoon of meat filling. Make sure that it is sealed. ( it is ok not to weigh the dough, just try to form equal shape bread.
  • Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let sit for another 30 minutes. Brush with egg wash.

Notes

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 meat bread.
  • 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.
