Pork Floss Bun


Beside the coffee bun, i have spare some of the dough to convert into olong shape and after baked. I apply some mayonnise with topping of pork floss, this is my son's favourite.
I used Florence's Tang Zhong method to made the dough, i like it so much as its keep the bread texture very spongy and soft even the next day.


Coffee bun

This evening, i have made again this bread as my family member like it so much, especially when you eat it out from the oven, the aroma smell of the coffee is very good as i have added some khuala liquor.
