Blueberry Bubble Bread

Ingredients

  • 200g Bread Flour
  • 2g Yeast
  • 20g Granulated Sugar
  • 4g Sea Salt
  • 160g Milk
  • 10g Corn Oil
  • 150g Blueberries
  • as needed Egg Wash

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar and yeast. Gradually pour in the milk and whisk until the sugar and yeast are fully dissolved and the liquid is uniform. Add the bread flour, sea salt, and corn oil. Mix and knead until a smooth, elastic dough forms. Cover and let it rest for the first rise until doubled in size.
  2. Place the risen dough on a clean work surface. Using a rolling pin, roll it out evenly into a large rectangular sheet. Use a dough scraper or knife to cut the sheet into small, uniform squares about 2cm (¾ inch) each.
  3. Take one small dough square and flatten it into a thin disc in your palm. Place a fresh blueberry in the center, gather the edges up around it, and pinch firmly to seal the fruit completely inside. Roll between your palms to form a smooth ball. Arrange the filled balls closely together on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Once all the dough balls are arranged and have undergone their second rise until puffed up, brush the tops lightly with egg wash for a golden shine. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 25 minutes until beautifully browned. Serve warm — each bite reveals a juicy, burst-in-your-mouth blueberry!

Common Questions

What's the most common mistake to avoid?

The biggest mistake is not having all ingredients prepped and measured before you start cooking (mise en place). Chinese cooking moves fast — once the wok is hot, there’s no time to chop.

How can I make this spicier?

Add chili oil or chili crisp to taste, or include dried red chilies during cooking. A dash of Sichuan peppercorn adds a different kind of heat.
