bbq bill heres my bbq bao bun reciope for spam

• 1 pound (about 3 1/2 cups) all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
• 1 cup warm water
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• Pinch of salt

For the BBQ Spam Filling:

• 1 can of Spam, sliced into thin pieces
• 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (use your favorite)
• 1/4 cup sliced green onions
• 1/4 cup shredded cabbage
• 1/4 cup sliced cucumber

Instructions:

For the Bao Buns:

1. In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes foamy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour and add a pinch of salt. Mix well.
3. Pour the yeast mixture into the flour and stir until a dough forms.
4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rest in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
6. Punch down the dough and divide it into small, equal-sized portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
7. Flatten each dough ball into a circle with a rolling pin, about 3-4 inches in diameter. Brush the tops with a little vegetable oil.
8. Fold each circle in half, creating a semi-circle shape. Place each folded bun on a small piece of parchment paper.
9. Steam the buns in a steamer for 12-15 minutes, or until they puff up and become soft and fluffy.

For the BBQ Spam Filling:

1. While the bao buns are steaming, heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add the sliced Spam and cook until it’s lightly browned on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
3. Pour the BBQ sauce over the Spam and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the Spam to soak up some of the sauce.

Assembly:

1. Once the bao buns are steamed, carefully open them up (be cautious of steam) and spread a little extra BBQ sauce inside each one.
2. Place a slice of BBQ Spam inside each bun.
3. Top with sliced green onions, shredded cabbage, and sliced cucumber for added crunch and freshness.
4. Serve your BBQ spam bao buns hot and enjoy!
