Ingredients
- 2 cups gulaman flour
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 lb pork, finely diced or ground
- Chocolate frosting (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes, until it becomes frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the gulaman flour and egg. Gradually add the yeast mixture and mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- While the dough is rising, cook the diced or ground pork in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Let the pork cool to room temperature.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal portions.
- Flatten each portion into a small circle and place a spoonful of the cooked pork in the center.
- Gather the edges of the dough and pinch them together to seal the filling inside. Place the buns seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Let the buns rise for another 15-20 minutes.
- Bake the buns in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
- Once the buns have cooled slightly, spread a generous amount of chocolate frosting on top of each bun.
