Pepperoni Cheese Scallion Buns
Description
The Pepperoni Cheese Scallion Buns recipe starts with a yeasted dough using milk, sugar, flour, egg, avocado oil, and a pinch of salt. After activating the yeast, the dough is kneaded until smooth and left to rise until doubled in size. Portions of dough are then rolled out and filled with pepperoni sticks, shredded cheese, and scallions before being rolled up and placed seam-side down on a baking tray. An egg wash and optional sesame seeds finish the buns, which bake at 375°F (191°C) until golden. The combination of pepperoni and cheese inside tender bread creates a balanced savory snack with a soft interior and a slightly browned crust.
This recipe works well for sharing and makes a convenient warm snack or light meal. The structured dough ensures the buns hold their filling securely. The scallions add freshness and mild sharpness that contrast with the rich, melted cheese and cured meat.
Ingredients
Dough:
- 250 ml milk lukewarm, whole
- 15 g granulated sugar
- 8 g active dry yeast
- 500 g all-purpose flour
- 1 egg large
- pinch of sea salt
- 60 ml avocado oil
Filling:
- 1 C cheese your choice, shredded
- 10 pepperoni about 4.5" in length, sticks
- 2 talks green onion chopped, or scallions
Egg wash:
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 tablespoon white sesame seeds optional
Instructions
Make the dough:
- In a bowl, add the warmed milk, granulated sugar and yeast. Give it a stir and let the yeast activate and become bubbly, about 5 minutes.
- To a stand mixer bowl fitted with a dough hook attachment, add the flour, egg, salt, and oil.
- Add in the activated yeast mixture and knead until the dough becomes smooth and shiny, about 8-10 minutes.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl and cover with a tea towel.
- Let the dough rise in a warm location until doubled in size, about 1-1.5 hours, depending on how warm it is.
Shape and assemble:
- Once the dough has proofed, divide into 10 equal portions.
- Preheat oven to 375°F/191°C.
- Roll each portion into a oblong square, about 4.5" by 4".
- Place a pepperoni stick at one end (the wider end) and cut a few slits perpendicular to the pepperoni.
- Add cheese and scallions to the pepperoni.
- Working from the end with the pepperoni, roll the dough up and place seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Repeat with the remainder.
- Cover loosely with plastic wrap or a tea towel and let it rise in a warm location, until slightly puffy, about 20 minutes.
- Lightly brush the tops of the buns with beaten egg.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds (optional).
Bake:
- Bake the buns at 375°F/191°C for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool.
