Japanese Cream Buns with Pork Floss

Another of my bun moment. I wanted to try out another bread baking experience. I did this back few months ago. Always bake when we will have visitor. Is good to share the baking and one can remind slim afterall sharing is caring. I would like to show my care and love in the food I am baking .

I plan to do a western roasting dinner for the night. Thought of baking some small bun and have it serve before the main. Yup , I still do not quite understand in the fine dinning restaurant , we always been serve some fresh bake bun before our main course come. Perhaps the portion of a fine dinning is always small, so is good to fill your tummy up with some carbo so the end of the meal you will feel full.

My friend recommend me this recipe and told me the result is fabulous and is easy to bake. So here are the recipe from one of my favourite blogger ->Japanes Cream Bun

5. Place onto greased pan and let proof for another 50minutes.

7. Bake at preheated oven at 170(fan)/190C for 15minutes.


I also make some bun into oval shape and prepare to put some pork floss like the pork floss bun I always love for my breakfast next day.

I got the recipe to make the cream to go with the pork floss on this bun.

Ingredient for Cream :

2 Tbsp of Condense Milk
2.5 Tbsp of mayonnaise
200g Pork floss

Method :
1. Mixed the condense milk and mayonnaise together , slice half way down  the middle of the oval shape bun, spread the cream and sprinkle pork floss according to your liking.

The bun is really soft and creamy . It smell really good when baking . Of course my guest love it. I prepare one night before the dinner and have the plain bun heat up in the oven before I serve it. So is like fresh bake bun :)

I will definitely make it again .
