Instructions
- In a large stand mixer bowl fitted with a dough hook attachment, add the flour, salt, egg, and oil. Set aside.
- In another small bowl, combine the warmed water/milk, sugar, and dry yeast. Stir and let the yeast become foamy.
- Once yeast has been activated, add the mixture to the flour mixture, turn on the mixer to low-medium speed. Knead for about 7-8 minutes, until the dough is smooth and shiny. The dough will feel quite soft.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let it double in size in a warm location.
- Divide the dough into 10 equal portions.
- Roll the dough into a rectangle/oval about 7" by 3".
- Brush the surface with a little beaten egg.
- Add about 1 tablespoon pork floss and 1 tablespoon chopped green onion over top of the dough.
- Roll the dough lengthwise into a long cigar, pinching the seams.
- With the dough facing you like the letter "I," use a sharp knife and make a slit in the middle of the dough, leaving about 1 inch uncut at the top. You will have two pieces, but it will still be joined at the top.
- With the exposed ends showing, carefully lay each half of the dough over each other, similar to braiding. (Beware, this can get a little bit messy).
- Grab each end of the dough and gently twist the dough, pinching and tucking the ends into the centre of the bun from underneath.
- Place the bun onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. If any filling has fallen out, gather it up and place onto the bun. Repeat with the remainder.
- Loosely cover the buns with plastic wrap and leave until slightly puffy.
- Preheat oven to 350°F/177°C.
- Let the buns rise for another 20 minutes, until dough is slightly puffy.
- Brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg and sprinkle sesame seeds if you wish.
- Bake at 350°F/177°C for 20-22 minutes, until golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Pork Floss Green Onion Buns can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, tightly covered. Microwave for 15-20 seconds before eating for optimal soft texture.
