#Pineapple Bun

🍍 EASY, shortcut Hong Kong-style pineapple buns (bo lo bao) that you can make at home in just 45 minutes! For those wondering, there’s no pineapple in these, they get their name from their golden cross-hatched cookie tops that look like pineapples 🤩 For those who’ve been following for a while, you might remember this one 👀 The hack is to use store-bought sweet or dinner rolls as the bun, so that you don’t even need to make the dough yourself! Save your time (and your kitchen counter top from the mess) 😅 I’m resharing this because it’s still one of my favorite hacks (maybe ever) and I feel like it didn’t get the attention it deserved the first time 😂 To prevent the bottoms from burning, bake these on a wire rack or on a double-layered baking sheet tray! ✏️ Full recipe with details and steps are on smellylunchbox.com or click the link in my bio!

Easy Pineapple Buns (No bread making) If I could visit a HK style cafe every day, I would but life gets in the ways so, let’s make a batch of super quick and easy pineapple buns. The tip: use Chinese bakery buns! I got plain ones from Kam Do Bakery. R E C I P E ☞ 66g butter ☞ 66g sugar ☞ 3g baking powder ☞ 1/4 tsp baking soda ☞ 120g cake flour ☞ 2 egg yolks ☞ 1 egg, beaten Cream butter and sugar / Add egg yolk and lightly beat until incorporated, then add second egg yolk / Add vanilla and mix / add flour, baking powder, and baking soda / fold to combine / freeze dough for 30 mins / Pre-heat oven at 360 F / Cut out cookie topping / scour the top / add egg wash / Bake for 12-15mins. NOTE: the bottom of the buns may darken quickly so either bake the buns on a wired rack or reduce the temperature half way into baking. #pineapplebun #菠蘿包 #香港美食 #香港 #hongkongfood #hkfoodie #homecafe #easyrecipe #baking
