Pineapple Buns - How to Make Hong Kong Bakery-style Bolo Bao (冰火菠萝油)

Pineapple buns, Bolo Bao, are a classic at Hong Kong bakeries. They're a buttery bun with a crispy sugar cookie topping and served with an optional generous slab of butter.

As we said in the video, the Chinese baker's ammonium can be subbed by altering the baking powder amount as well. Instead of 1g baking powder and 0.3g Chinese baker's ammonia, go with:

3g baking soda
3g baking powder

Learn how to cook real deal, authentic Chinese food! We post recipes every Tuesday (unless we happen to be travelling) :)

We're Steph and Chris - a food-obsessed couple that lives in Shenzhen, China. Steph is from Guangzhou and loves cooking food from throughout China - you'll usually be watching her behind the wok. Chris is a long-term expat from America that's been living in China and loving it for the last nine years - you'll be listening to his explanations and recipe details, and doing some cooking at times as well.

This channel is all about learning how to cook the same taste that you'd get in China. Our goal for each video is to give you a recipe that would at least get you close to what's made by some of our favorite restaurants here. Because of that, our recipes are no-holds-barred Chinese when it comes to style and ingredients - but feel free to ask for tips about adaptations and sourcing too!
