How to Make Baked Hoisin Chicken Buns
- In a large bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Stir in 1/4 cup sugar. Let stand for 10 minutes until foamy.
- Beat the egg with melted butter. Add to the yeast mixture.
- With a mixer on low speed, add salt and gradually add 3 1/2 cups of flour, one cup at a time, until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough with the mixer on low speed for 10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
- Remove the dough from the mixer and shape it into rolls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Let the rolls rise for 30 minutes in a warm place.
- While the dough rises, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Coat with cooking spray.
- Add chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 4 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
- Let the chicken cool slightly, then shred it with two forks.
- In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken, green onions, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, and rice vinegar. Toss well to combine.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll each dough piece into a 4-inch circle.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture into the center of each dough circle.
- Gather the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch to seal tightly.
- Place the filled buns, seam-side down, on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Lightly coat the tops with cooking spray.
- Cover and let rise for 20 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Uncover the buns and gently brush them with the egg wash.
- Sprinkle evenly with sesame seeds.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
