I cut a quarter piece of pork off a pork roast. Cut up smaller pieces. I mixed whatever BBQ sauce I had in the fridge. Added some cherry wine, fresh ginger, garlic & salt pepper. Bake 250 for a few hours. Low & slow.Once cooked. I cut that all up. Add about 1TBSP of sugar & oyster sauce, and 1TSP of soya sauce & sesame oil.Mix that all together. I use a little cornstarch/water if it needs thickened.
The Dough 1/2CUP warm water 4TBSP white sugar 2CUPSall purpose flour 1CUP cornstarch 1/4CUP vegetable oil 2 1/2TSP baking powder Put yeast, sugar and water in a bowl. Mix, then set aside until it becomes foamy. Place flour, cornstarch and sugar in another bowl. Mix. Add yeast mixture, oil and water. Mix until a smooth ball of dough forms. It should be soft and elastic, not sticky. Adjust with a touch of flour/water if required to get the dough consistency right. Add little oil to bowl. Cover, place in a warm dry place up to 2 hours until it doubles in size Turn dough out onto work surface, sprinkle with flour. Knead lightly to form a smooth round disc.
I make a ton of little balls out of the dough. Which I roll out. Fill with about 1TBSP of filling. I pinch the circle all around til it becomes closed. Repeat til finished. I had some left over dough this time, so I added some sesame seeds and made some steamed knots too. Some of the BBQ pork buns I sprinkled sesame seeds on before steaming.
Steam in your steamer. About 12-15 minutes. These never last long in my house!

1CUP warm water 1TSP instant yeast 1TSP sugar 2CUPS all-purpose flour 1TSP salt This is my all time favorite pizza dough. I use this recipe for a lot of things! Take the water, yeast, sugar & mix. Let stand til foamed. Once yeast is activated add in the flour and Salt. Mix until soft and smooth. Add ball back to bowl toss with some oil and let double in size.
Spread pizza dough on your pan. I fill with garlic, fresh is best. Put loads of mozza and topped with some parsley. We have our oven down this week, awaiting for a part. So we have been BBqing all week.

Basic 4 ingredient white bread 3 cups water lukewarm 1 1/2TBSP active dry yeast 1 1/2TBSP salt 6 1/2 cups all-purpose flour In a bowl add the warm water, salt and yeast stir. In another bowl add flour & salt, then pour the yeast mixture over the flour and mix with wooden spoon. Place the dough in a large container, and cover well. but do not close completely, there needs to be one corner left open to let the gases escape. Let the dough rise for 2 hours up to 18hours. The dough will be very sticky and elastic. Add flour to your hands, and divide the dough in two pieces. Add more flour to your hands as necessary. Shape the dough into the desired shape for your bread and place it seam down in a hot Dutch oven. Sprinkle some more flour on top of the loaves. Let the loaves rest for another 30 minutes so that they can rise a bit. Preheat oven to 450 F degrees. Bake the bread for 30covered then about 8-12minutes uncovered til browned and crisp Cool on a rack.
Peek a Boo
Hehehe
For the sweet loaf. Add to the flour/salt-1/2CUP each apples, oranges & cranberries. 1/3CUP sugar, 1TSP cinnamon. When adding your water/yeast mixture add couple TBSP of orange juice and orange zest. For the herb loaf. Add to the flour/salt- 1TSP each of crushed chilis, garlic powder, minced onion, rosemary & thyme. I also put 1/2CUP of extra old cheddar as well.
Take your favorite banana bread recipe. Prepare the loaves. I use about 1-2TBSP of Nutella per loave. Heat Nutella in microwave about 20secs til melted. Pour over top of loaf from a spouted cup. I then use a butter knife to swirl it in and around the top. Looks pretty and tastes awesome! Adds just enough nut & chocolate :0)
