Stuffed Bread and Fillings Recipes

Candy's Hong Kong Style Stuffed Bread

Dough:

Mix together:
2 cup Warm Water
2 Tablespoons Yeast
1/2 cup Sugar or Honey

After mixing all three ingredients together, wait for about 5-10 minutes to proof yeast. When you see small bubbles around the mixing bowl, the yeast mixture is good to go.

Add:
2 1/2 teaspoons Salt
3 cup All Purpose Flour

Mix them well.

Add:
1 Egg and 1 Egg Yolk
1/4 cup Vegetable Oil
2 to 2 1/2 cup All Purpose Flour (one cup at a time)

Mix them well together. Lightly grease the top of the dough. Cover mixing bowl with a towel. Let dough sets in a warm place and raises for 45 minutes to an hour or until tripled in size. Preheat oven at 375F.

After rising, punch down the dough. Dough will be a little bit sticky and that is what supposed to be. Lightly grease your hands with cooking spray or vegetable oil before working with the dough. DO NOT add more flour in the dough or put flour on your hands. It will make the dough dry and hard. More flour you put into your dough and harder and tougher it becomes.

Make whatever shapes or bread that you want. Remember to grease your hands when the dough sticks on your hands.

Take a little bit of the dough, about a golf ball size, and form a ball shape with your hands. Then, pat it flat, like a small flat pizza dough, with your hands. Put 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon (depends on how big your dough is) of stuffing in the middle of the dough. Seal the edges together. Seal side down when you put on a lightly greased baking sheet.

Let the formed bread raises for the second time for 15 minutes.

Egg wash: Mix 1 egg with 1 tablespoon of water, milk, or cream.

Brush egg wash or melted butter on ready-to-bake dough before putting it in the oven.


Baking time:

Normal size loaf: 25 to 30 minutes

Small stuffed bread, rolls, or bread sticks: 10-12 minutes

Big stuffed bread: 15-20 minutes

Stuffed Bread Fillings:

Cheesy Tuna Rolls 12 rolls

2 cans Albacore Tuna (drain well)
1/8 cup Celery (finely chopped)
1/8 cup Green Onion (finely chopped)
1/4 cup Mayonnaise
1/3 cup Grated Cheese (Mozzarella or Cheddar)
1 teaspoon Salt and Pepper

Mix everything together. Chill for 15 minutes before using.

Green Onion Cream Cheese Spread

1 8oz Cream Cheese (soften)
1/3 cup Green Onion (finely chopped)

Mix them together and chill for 15 minutes.

This spread is very good using with hotdogs in “Piggy in a Blanket”. Put spread on dough before wrapping hotdog. Try it. This is my favorite!


Creamy Chicken Rolls 12 to 15 rolls

1 8oz Cream Cheese (soften)
1/4 cup Mayonnaise or Ranch Dressing
2 cups Chopped Cooked Chicken (I personally prefer baked chicken meat)
1 clove Garlic (finely chopped)
2 Tablespoons Dry or Chopped Fresh Parsley
2 Tablespoons Green Onion (finely chopped), optional
1 teaspoon Salt and Pepper

Mix everything together and chill for 15 minutes.

P.S. You can add thawed frozen chopped spinach, or any kind of frozen vegetable in the filling.
