Ingredients

• 500 grams all-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 250 ml warm water
• 50 grams unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 250 grams ground beef
• 250 grams chicken breast, finely diced
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 medium carrot, grated
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 2 stalks green onions, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add the yeast mixture and melted butter to form a dough.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 4

Meanwhile, prepare the filling by heating sesame oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until translucent.

Step 5

Add ground beef and diced chicken, cook until browned. Stir in grated carrots, soy sauce, ginger, and black pepper. Cook until the vegetables are soft and the meat is cooked through.

Step 6

Mix in the chopped green onions, remove from heat, and let the filling cool to room temperature.

Step 7

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.

Step 8

Flatten each ball into a disc and place a generous spoonful of filling in the center. Pull the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch to seal around the top, forming a bun.

Step 9

Place the buns on a parchment-lined baking sheet, seam side down. Cover and let them rest for about 15 minutes.

Step 10

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly brush the tops of the buns with beaten egg to give them a shiny finish.

Step 11

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the buns are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.

Step 12

Cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious high protein savory meat buns!
