Spicy Meat And Cheese Buns

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup milk
  2. 2 tsp instant yeast
  3. 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  4. ¼ cup melted butter
  5. 1 egg
  6. 3 cups bread flour (or 450 grams)
  7. 1½ tsp salt
  8. 1 pound ground beef
  9. 1½ tsp garlic and ginger paste
  10. 1 tsp chilli flakes
  11. 2 tbsp soy sauce
  12. 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  13. 2 tbsp Sriracha sauce
  14. 2 tbsp brown sugar
  15. 1 cup shredded cheese
  16. 1 egg (beaten for egg wash)
  17. black and white sesame seeds (to sprinkle)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough:

    Warm the milk slightly and add it to a mixing bowl with yeast, sugar, melted butter, and an egg. Whisk lightly to mix. Add in the flour and salt.
  2. Knead the dough in a stand mixer for 5 minutes or by hand for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise until doubled in size, approximately 1 hour.

  4. Make the Filling:

    Prepare the filling while the dough is rising. Start by cooking the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until it’s no longer pink.
  5. Add the ginger garlic paste and red chili flakes, stirring until the beef is lightly browned.
  6. Whisk together soy sauce, vinegar, sriracha, and brown sugar.
  7. Pour this mixture into the skillet and cook until the liquid has evaporated and the beef is moist. Set aside to cool.

  8. Shape the Buns:

    Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces, each weighing around 62-64 grams.
  9. Shape each piece into a ball, flatten into a 6-inch circle, thin the edges, and add 2 tablespoons of beef filling and shredded cheese into the center, then gather the edges and twist into a knot to seal
  10. Shape the dough into a ball. Place the dough balls on a parchment-lined baking tray and repeat with the remaining dough. Cover with cling film and let rise for another hour.
  11. Preheat the oven to 420F.

  12. Bake the Buns:

    Brush the tops with egg wash, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and bake in a preheated oven at 420°F for 12 minutes.
  13. Once baked, transfer the buns to a wire rack to cool.
