Pork Bun:
Ingredients:
2 and a half cups of all-purpose flour
half a cup of warm water
2 tablespoons of sugar
1 teaspoon of active dry yeast
1/4 cup of milk
1 beaten egg
Half a pound of shredded barbecued pork,
2 tablespoons of hoisin sauce
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon of milk
2 teaspoons of oyster sauce
2 cloves of minced garlic

For the dough:

3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm milk
1/4 cup warm water
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 egg

For the filling:

1 lb BBQ pork, shredded
2 cloves of minced garlic
2 tbsp hoisin sauce
2 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil

Instruction:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and sugar. In a separate bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm milk and water. Let it sit for 5 minutes, or until the mixture becomes frothy.

2. Add the yeast mixture, vegetable oil, and egg to the flour mixture. Mix everything together and knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic about 10 minutes.

3. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until it has doubled in size.

4. In a pan, sauté the minced garlic and shredded pork over medium heat. Once the pork is cooked through, add the hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, soy sauce and sesame oil. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, then set aside to cool.

5. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece of dough into a ball and flatten it into a circle.

6. Place about 2 tablespoons of the pork filling in the center of each dough circle. Pinch the edges of the dough together to seal the filling inside.

7. Place the buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let them rise for another 30 minutes.

8. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the buns with beaten egg and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
