Hong Kong style butter cocktail buns

Overview

I haven’t made bread for a long time. During the Qingming Festival holiday, I made an improved Hong Kong-style bun at home. I used a bread machine instead of kneading the dough by hand. The filling is really delicious, and the main reason is that it is easy to operate!

Steps

  1. Mix all the main dough ingredients into the bread machine and knead for 15 minutes.

  3. To make the filling from fermented dough, soften the butter at room temperature, add sugar and whole egg liquid and mix well. Then add low-gluten flour and grated coconut and continue stirring to form a cocktail filling. Cover with plastic wrap and wait for the dough to ferment. (A manual egg beater will do)
