How to Make Scallion and Ham Flower Buns

Scallion and ham flower buns are a delightful, savory treat perfect for breakfast or snacks. Here’s a simple recipe to guide you.

Ingredients:

- 300g all-purpose flour

- 2g active dry yeast

- 15g sugar

- 2ml salt

- 160ml warm water

- 50g diced ham

- 50g chopped scallions

- 10ml cooking oil

Steps:

1. Prepare the dough: Mix flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Gradually add warm water and knead into a smooth, elastic dough (about 10 minutes). Cover and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size (1-1.5 hours).

2. Make the filling: Combine diced ham and chopped scallions in a bowl; set aside.

3. Shape the buns: Punch down the risen dough and roll it into a rectangle (about 0.5cm thick). Spread oil evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the scallion-ham mixture. Roll the dough tightly into a log, cut into 6-8 equal pieces, and place each piece in a muffin tin. Cover and let them rest for 20 minutes.

4. Steam the buns: Bring water to a boil in a steamer. Place the buns inside, leaving space between them. Steam over medium heat for 15-18 minutes. Turn off the heat and let them sit for 5 minutes before serving.

These fluffy, flavorful buns are best enjoyed warm. Enjoy your homemade treat!
