Hong Kong style Cocktail Buns (Gai Mei Bao)
Make: 12 buns
Fo the Tangzhong:
100 ml milk
20 g bread flour
For the Bread dough:
125 ml warm milk
1 tsp active dry yeast
50 g caster sugar (divide 40 g + 10 g)
335 g bread flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 large egg
55 g unsalted butter (softened)
1 tsp vegetable oil (for the bowl proofing the dough)
For the Coconut Filling:
20 g all purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
85 g unsalted butter (softened)
35 g caster sugar
35 g milk powder
50 g unsweetened shredded coconut
For the Topping:
21 g unsalted butter (melted)
18 g all purpose flour
10 g icing sugar
1/2 tbsp milk
some white sesame seeds
For the Egg Wash:
1 egg
1 tbsp milk
Preheat the oven to 180℃
Bake the buns for about 16 to 18 minutes or until golden brown
I was inspired by the Cocktail Buns (Gai Mei Bao) recipe in Mooncakes & Milk Bread by Kristina Cho to create this version. I made some changes to suit my taste, including adding the quantities of unsweetened shredded coconut and the milk for the topping, reducing the amount of caster sugar.
