PULLED PORK-STUFFED MILK BUNS RECIPE BY TASTY



Pulled Pork-Stuffed Milk Buns Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: water, whole milk, bread flour, bread flour, sugar, salt, instant yeast, whole milk, unsalted butter, large egg, vegetable oil, pulled pork, large egg

Provided by Julie Klink

Categories     Dinner

Yield 9 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons whole milk
2 tablespoons bread flour
3 ¼ cups bread flour, divided
¼ cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon instant yeast
1 cup whole milk, warm to the touch
¼ cup unsalted butter, 1/2 stick, melted
1 large egg
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 ¼ cups pulled pork
1 large egg, mixed with 1 tablespoon milk

Steps:

  • Make the starter: In a small pot over low heat, combine the water, milk, and flour. Stir continuously until a loose paste forms. Remove the pot from the heat and transfer the mixture to a small bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the starter, and refrigerate for 1 hour, or until cool.
  • Make the dough: In a large bowl, add 2½ cups (300 g) of flour, the sugar, salt, and yeast, and whisk to combine.
  • In a large measuring cup, whisk together the milk, egg, butter, and chilled starter mixture.
  • Gradually pour the milk mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients, using your hands to combine. The dough will be very sticky at this point. If the dough is too wet to knead, gradually add ¾ cup (90 g) of flour, a few tablespoons at a time, until you can knead the dough into a loose ball. Continue to knead the dough for 20 minutes.
  • Cover your hands with the vegetable oil and form the dough into a taut ball. Place the dough into a clean large bowl. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 60-90 minutes.
  • Transfer the dough to a clean surface and press out to a 9-inch (23 cm) square. Divide the dough into 9 equal squares.
  • Flatten a portion of dough into a circle. Place 2 tablespoons of pulled pork in the center. Pinch the edges of the dough together to seal. Gently roll the dough into a ball and place in a greased 9-inch (23 cm) square baking dish. Repeat with the remaining dough. Cover with a towel and let rise for 45 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
  • Brush the buns with the egg and milk mixture.
  • Bake the buns for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Let the buns sit in the pan for 10 minutes.
  • Invert the buns onto a serving plate, and pull apart.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • To ensure the pork is tender and juicy, choose a pork shoulder or butt roast with good marbling. This cut of meat has a higher fat content, which will help to keep the pork moist during cooking.
  • Sear the pork roast in a hot skillet before braising it. This will help to develop a flavorful crust and lock in the juices.
  • Use a variety of spices and seasonings to flavor the braising liquid. Common choices include garlic, onion, cumin, chili powder, and oregano.
  • Braise the pork roast for at least 4 hours, or until it is fall-apart tender. The longer you cook it, the more flavorful it will be.
  • Shred the pork roast with two forks or a meat shredder. This will make it easier to incorporate into the pulled pork buns.
  • Use a soft, fluffy bun for the pulled pork buns. This will help to absorb the juices from the pork and create a delicious, messy sandwich.
  • Top the pulled pork buns with your favorite toppings. Common choices include coleslaw, pickles, onions, and barbecue sauce.

Conclusion:

Maple pulled pork buns are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet and savory flavors is sure to please everyone at your table. With a little planning, you can have this dish on the table in no time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
