Fuyang pillow-shaped steamed bread 枕头馍 →

A large wheat dough is kneaded, shaped into a pillow-like loaf and steamed. The size makes this a bread intended for cutting or tearing into portions rather than eating as one bun. Its crumb is firm, dense and mildly wheaty, with no assumption of a sweet filling. It works especially well for absorbing soup or savory cooking juices.

Try a different local texture

Small portions of layered dough are filled with pork and preserved greens, sealed and baked until crisp. The compact size allows the filling to season the pastry without turning it into a large meal. Thin shells crumble easily, with a salty, fragrant filling and a dry toasted finish.
