Ingredients
  
Bread Dough
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 Salt
  • 3/4 cup Water (adjust as needed)
Sauce Options (Choose According to Preference)
  • 1 tbsp Hoisin Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Oyster Sauce (or an alternative combination)
  • 2 tbsp Soy Sauce (for added depth, a bit of Dark Soy Sauce can be included)
  • A dash of Hot Sauce (Optional)
Instructions
 
  • In a large bowl, mix together 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 tsp of salt.
    Gradually add up to 3/4 cup of water while kneading until the dough forms a smooth, pliable ball.
    Coat the dough lightly in oil, then cover with plastic wrap to rest for 30 minutes.
  • After the dough has rested, divide it into smaller portions.
    On a floured surface, roll each portion into a flat, circular shape about 1/8 inch thick.
  • Preheat a skillet over medium heat, lightly oil it, and place the dough rounds onto the skillet.
    Cook each side for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and slightly puffed, then set aside on a baking sheet to cool.
  • For additional flavor, mix your chosen liquid sauces.
    A basic sauce can be made by combining a tablespoon of hoisin sauce with soy sauce, or oyster sauce for variety.
    Feel free to add a bit of hot sauce for a spicy kick, if desired.
  • Once the bread is cool enough to handle, it's ready to be filled with your savory filling of choice.
    If you prefer, brush the inside of the bread with your sauce mixture to enhance the flavor before adding the filling.
    Serve while warm to enjoy the bread's chewy texture.
