Time 2h20m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

⅓ cup milk
½ teaspoon instant yeast
2 tablespoons sugar
1 ¼ cups all purpose flour
pink food coloring
black food coloring
water, for brushing
12 chocolate truffles

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, stir together the milk, yeast, sugar, and flour with a rubber spatula until the dough starts to come together.
  • Fit the stand mixer with the dough hook and mix the dough on medium-high speed for 10 minutes, until smooth.
  • Cover the dough with a wet towel and let rest for 1 hour.
  • Pull off about 2 tablespoons of dough and roll into a ball, then roll out into a log. Fold the outer ends of the log inward to overlap the center, then roll out into a log again. Repeat 2-3 more times, until the dough is very smooth. Roll the dough into a ball again. Press the ball flat, then flip so the less-smooth side is up. Press a chocolate truffle into the center, then wrap the dough around the truffle to seal. Roll into a smooth ball again and place on a small square of parchment paper. Repeat to make 12 total buns, leaving some excess dough for decorating.
  • Add a few drops of pink food coloring to another portion of dough and roll out the dough as before, until the color is uniform.
  • Pull off a very small portion of dough and add a drop of black food coloring. Knead until the coloring is uniform.
  • Use a finger to slightly dampen the outside of a bun. Stick on 2 small dots of black dough for the eyes. Shape a piece of pink dough into a flat disc, then stick on the front of the bun for the nose. Shape 2 more small pieces of pink dough into cone shapes, then stick on top of the bun for the ears. Use the end of a chopstick to poke 2 holes in the snout, then into the center of the ears to make folds. Repeat with the remaining buns.
  • Let the buns rest for 30 minutes.
  • Fill the bottom of a steamer with water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. (If you don't have a steamer, fill a large pot with a bowl at the bottom with water, then place a plate on top of the bowl, making sure the water does not come over the edges of the plate.)
  • Add the buns to the steamer, leaving enough space for the buns to expand. Cover the pot and steam the buns for 9-10 minutes, or until the dough is cooked through. Turn off the heat and let the buns rest in the steamer for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Kneading the dough: Be patient and knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten in the dough, which will make the buns light and fluffy.
  • Proving the dough: Allow the dough to prove in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will help the yeast to work and produce gas, which will create the air pockets in the buns.
  • Shaping the buns: When shaping the buns, be careful not to overwork the dough. This could make the buns tough.
  • Baking the buns: Bake the buns in a preheated oven until they are golden brown. Keep an eye on them to make sure they do not overcook.
  • Serving the buns: Serve the buns warm or at room temperature. They can be enjoyed on their own or filled with your favorite fillings.

Conclusion:

These puff pillow buns are an easy and delicious treat. With their light and fluffy texture and slightly sweet flavor, they are perfect for any occasion. Whether you are serving them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, these buns are sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy bread recipe, give these puff pillow buns a try.
