How to Make Cheesy and Pork Floss Bread: A Complete Guide

Cheesy pork floss bread is a beloved snack, loved for its fluffy texture, savory flavor, and satisfying crunch. Here’s a simple, step-by-step guide to making it at home.

Ingredients: For the dough: 300g bread flour, 30g sugar, 3g salt, 30g butter, 1 egg, 150ml warm milk, and 3g yeast. For the filling: 100g shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella work well), 50g pork floss, and a beaten egg for brushing.

Steps:

1. Prepare the dough: Dissolve yeast in warm milk and let sit for 5 minutes. Mix flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Add the egg and yeast mixture, knead until smooth. Add butter and knead until the dough is elastic and no longer sticky.

2. First rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

3. Shape the bread: Punch down the dough and divide it into 6 equal portions. Roll each into a ball, cover, and rest for 10 minutes. Flatten each ball into an oval, place cheese and pork floss in the center, and seal the edges tightly.

4. Second rise: Place the shaped buns on a baking sheet, cover, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

5. Bake: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Brush the buns with beaten egg and bake for 15–18 minutes until golden brown.

Tips: For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder to the dough. Serve warm for the best taste! This versatile bread is perfect for breakfast or as a snack. Enjoy your homemade cheesy pork floss bread!
