Pork floss sandwhich


My kids wanted Pork floss in sandwich form, so I made these gigantic versions for them. Surprisingly, they actually prefered this form more than in the buns or rolls. I wonder why?






I used the pork floss rolls method and made this big batch of Pork floss sandwich.


I got from the local Asian grocery shop,  I prefer this type (not the shredded one), the texture is more satisfying when you chew on it.

First poke holes all over the dough sheet, egg wash, sprinkle with chopped spring onions and a combination of black and white sesame seeds (before baking)

After 10 to 15 minutes in the oven.  Let it cool.

Now, flip bread over to the other side. Spread mayonaise,  top with lots and lots of yummy pork floss!!

Here we go, soft and fluffy open sandwich!




There are so many people who made all kinds of pork floss when I browsed through the net!   I just picked up all the ideas and improvised my own.



Ingredients:
1.  Lukewarm water and egg added up   250ml
2.  Tangzhong  190ml
Australian native plant blooming at this time of the year
3.  Oil  2 tablespoons
4.  Honey  3 tablespoons
5.  Salt  1 teaspoon
6.  Skim milk powder  2 tablespoons
7.  Bread flour  600g
8.  Instant dry yeast  2 teaspoons

Mayonnaise mix:

1 small bowl of mayo mixed with 2 tablespoon of condensed milk.



Another Australian native plant, isn't it beautiful?




Method ( I used a food processor):

1.  Make a sponge.  In a jug, whisk yeast, sugar and lukewarm water until well dissolved.  Wrap with cling wrap and sit 5 minutes until it become frothy.
2.  Add in tangzhong and egg in the yeast mixture, stir them well.  Wrap again and chill in the fridge for 10 minutes.
3. Meanwhile,  flour, salt, skim milk powder goes in the food processer. "Pulse" 2 to 3 times to get it mixed.  Add in oil as you " Pulse" 2 to 3 times again.
4. Gradually pour in yeast mixture as you "pause"very briefly until dough comes together. It's done.
note: over mixing in food processor is not good.
5. Scrape out dough, roll into a ball shape, let it rise for an hour or, until it has doubled it's size.
6. Deflate air bubbles and divide 2 portions of dough.  Roll out the dough flat so that it fits your pan.
Cover and let it rise for another 30 minutes or so.
7. Using a fork, poke holes all over the surface of dough,  egg wash, sprinkle with chopped onions and sesame seeds.
8. Bake at 180C for about 10 to15 minutes.
9. Remove bread out and let it cool.  Flip it over, spread a layer of mayonnaise on the surface and last, sprinkle with lots of yummy pork floss!
10. Enjoy these sandwiches!

Springtime now and I am in a "red" mood too...
