BOLO BAO (CHINESE PINEAPPLE BUNS)



Bolo Bao (Chinese Pineapple Buns) image

I love making these Chinese pineapple buns (bolo bao). They're my favorite treat. Being Chinese, my parents would always go to the Chinese bakery during the weekend and buy these to eat for breakfast or for a snack. Now that I learned how to make these myself, it has saved a lot of money.

Time 3h40m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 ½ cups white sugar
1 cup lukewarm water
1 cup lukewarm milk
2 packages active dry yeast
⅔ cup salted butter, melted
2 eggs
7 cups bread flour, or more as needed
1 cup sugar
½ cup butter
2 egg yolks
4 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup canned red bean paste, or as needed

Steps:

  • Combine 1 1/2 cups sugar, lukewarm water, and 1 cup lukewarm milk in a very large bowl. Add yeast and let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 10 minutes.
  • Add 2/3 cup melted butter and 2 eggs to the bowl with the yeast mixture and mix well. Add 7 cups flour, 1 cup at a time and mix in; when dough comes together, start kneading until elastic but still sticky. Cover the bowl and let rise for 1 hour in a warm place.
  • Divide dough into 36 equal pieces; cover and let buns rise for 1 hour more.
  • While buns rise, beat 1 cup sugar and 1/2 cup butter together in a bowl. Add egg yolks, 4 tablespoons milk, and baking soda. Combine 2 cups flour and baking powder in a separate bowl; add to the sugar-egg yolk mixture. Refrigerate cookie topping at least 1 hour.
  • Flatten 1 bun in your palm; place a spoonful of red bean paste inside. Squeeze edges together to cover filling and roll bun back into a ball. Let filled buns rise again, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Divide cookie topping into 36 equal balls. Flatten the balls and use a knife to make shallow hash mark lines resembling pineapple skin on each. Place 1 topping on each bun and place them on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 15 to 20 minutes.

In another bowl add cake flour, bread flour 1&1/2 cups, dough enhancer and vital wheat gluten. After that, turn on the mixer at the lowest setting and add the flour mixture. (Note: if the dough is too sticky, add 1/4 cup flour at a time until the dough comes together). Next, change the mixer from lowest setting to medium or high setting and let it runs for 5- 10 minutes.
  • After 5- 10 minutes, the dough is ready. Then, take the dough out in a bowl and cover the bowl with a damp towel and let it sit for 45 minuets.
