Green Onion Shao Bing (Baked Bread)

Step 1: Make the Dough

In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt.

Gradually add warm water and mix until a soft dough forms.

Knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 30 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

In a small bowl, mix chopped green onions, salt, and oil.

Toast sesame seeds lightly if using.

Step 3: Assemble the Shao Bing

Divide dough into 4–6 equal portions.

Roll each portion into a thin circle.

Brush lightly with oil, sprinkle green onion mixture evenly, and fold or roll the dough as desired (classic method: fold in half and then roll again).

Flatten slightly with a rolling pin.

Step 4: Bake the Bread

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Place the prepared breads on a lined baking sheet.

Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown and crispy on the edges.

Step 5: Serve
