To make Char Siu Baked Buns, you will need the following ingredients:

For the dough:

- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg

For the filling:

- 1 pound char siu pork, diced
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
To make the dough, combine the flour, sugar, and yeast in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together the warm water, milk, vegetable oil, and egg. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough for 5-10 minutes, then cover and let it rise for 1 hour.
To make the filling, combine the diced char siu pork, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the sauce thickens and the pork is coated.
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Flatten each ball into a disc and place a spoonful of the char siu filling in the center. Pinch the edges of the dough together to seal the filling inside.
Place the buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown. Serve hot and enjoy!
