In a large bowl, combine 500g flour, 5g yeast, and 300g water. Knead into a smooth dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rise until it doubles in size (about 1-2 hours).
Make the Filling:
In another bowl, mix ground pork with chopped scallions and soy sauce until well combined. Set aside.
Prepare the Short crust (Optional):
In a small bowl, mix 30g flour with 20g oil until smooth. This will be used to create additional flakiness in the bread.
Shape the Rolls:
Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a large rectangle. Spread the short crust mixture evenly over the surface (if using).
Spread the pork filling evenly across the dough and sprinkle more chopped scallions on top.
Roll and Slice:
Starting from the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Use a knife to cut the log into even-sized rolls, about 2-3 inches wide.
Add Sesame Seeds:
Lightly wet the surface of each roll with water and press it gently onto a plate of sesame seeds to coat one side.
Cook the Rolls:
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the rolls sesame-side down and fry until golden brown on one side. Flip and fry the other side.
Add a splash of water to the pan (around 2-3 tablespoons), cover with a lid, and let the rolls steam for 3-5 minutes until fully cooked.
Serve and Enjoy:
Serve warm and watch everyone savor the crispy, golden crust and flavorful meat filling!Â
