cups all-purpose flour
-
1
package active dry yeast
-
1
cup milk
-
1/4
cup sugar
-
2
tablespoons butter
-
1/2
teaspoon salt
-
2
eggs

Pork-and-Cabbage Filling (see recipe below)
-
1
tablespoon water

Black and white sesame seeds (optional)

Baby bok choy leaves (optional)
1. In a large mixing bowl, stir together 1-1/2 cups of the flour and the yeast. In a small saucepan, heat and stir milk, sugar, butter, and salt just until warm (120 degrees F to 130 degrees F) and butter almost melts. Add to flour mixture; add one of the eggs. Beat with an electric mixer on low to medium speed for 30 seconds, scraping side of bowl constantly. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes. Using a wooden spoon, stir in as much of the remaining flour as you can.
2. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in enough of the remaining flour to make a moderately soft dough that is smooth and elastic (3 to 5 minutes total). Shape dough into a ball. Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning once to grease surface. Cover and let rise in a warm place until double (about 1 hour).
3. Meanwhile, prepare Pork-and-Cabbage Filling. Set the filling aside to cool.
4. Punch dough down. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide dough into 15 pieces. Gently pull each piece into a ball, tucking edges under to make smooth tops. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
5. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an extra-large baking sheet with foil; grease foil. Roll or pat each ball of dough into a 4-inch circle. Brush edges with a little water. Place 2 tablespoons filling in center of each circle. Bring up edges of dough around filling, stretching dough just until edges meet; pinch to seal. Place buns seam side down on prepared baking sheet.
6. In small bowl, combine remaining egg and the 1 tablespoon water. Brush evenly over buns. If desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds.
7. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until buns are golden brown. Transfer buns to a wire rack; cool slightly. Serve warm. If desired, garnish the platter with bok choy leaves. Makes 15 buns.
- Make Ahead Tip Prepare and bake buns as directed; cool completely. Place in an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw buns, covered, overnight in the refrigerator. Wrap buns in foil and bake in a 300 degree F oven about 15 minutes or until heated through.
