Pineapple Bun
I love it so much, especially the crispy top layer~ Sweet, fragrant, and delightfully crunchy—it's simply marvelous!
Ingredients
Steps
Prepare all ingredients
Mix the bread ingredients into a dough and knead until it reaches the gluten stage
Ferment the dough until it doubles in size. Then divide the dough into 8 portions, deflate, roll them into balls, cover with plastic wrap, and let rest for 20 minutes
While letting the dough rest, prepare the crust. Soften the butter at room temperature, add sugar, and beat until fluffy, white, and smooth
Gradually add the egg liquid several times, mixing until well combined each time
Add the low-gluten flour
Mix into a dough
Divide the crust dough into 8 portions for later use
Flatten one portion of the crust
Wrap it around one ball of dough
Slowly rotate it in your hand, allowing the crust to expand over the surface of the dough ball
Appearance after all are wrapped
Let rise in a warm and humid place for 40 minutes to 1 hour. Brush the top of the pineapple buns with egg liquid
Score a diamond pattern with a blade, or leave plain. Preheat the oven to 180°C and bake for 20 minutes
