How to Make Scallion and Pork Floss Bread Rolls

Scallion and pork floss bread rolls are a beloved savory snack, loved for their fluffy texture, aromatic scallions, and savory pork floss. Here’s a simple guide to making them at home.

Ingredients: For the dough: 300g all-purpose flour, 3g yeast, 30g sugar, 2g salt, 1 egg, 150ml milk, 30g butter. For the filling: 50g cooked pork floss, 3-4 chopped scallions, 1 beaten egg (for glazing).

Steps:

1. Prepare the dough: Mix flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Add egg and milk, knead into a smooth dough. Incorporate softened butter and knead until elastic. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled in size.

2. Shape the rolls: Punch down the dough, roll it into a 30x25cm rectangle. Spread pork floss evenly over the dough, leaving a 1cm border. Sprinkle scallions on top.

3. Roll and cut: Roll the dough tightly like a swiss roll. Cut into 6-8 equal slices with a sharp knife. Place them cut-side up on a baking sheet.

4. Proof and bake: Cover and let them rise for 20 minutes. Brush with beaten egg. Bake at 180°C for 15-18 minutes until golden brown.

Enjoy these warm, flavorful rolls as a breakfast treat or snack! Their crispy crust, soft interior, and umami-rich filling make them irresistible.
