Instructions
- [Authentic Recipe]
- Prepare crispy pie dough made with flour and lard.
- Prepare the traditional Hujiao Bing filling with lean minced pork, fat, massive green scallions, black pepper, soy sauce, and five-spice. Slightly reduce the base soy sauce to account for the cheese's saltiness.
- Flatten dough in your palm, place pork filling, and firmly press pizza cheese (stretchy types like mozzarella) into the center.
- Seal the dough edges tightly to prevent cheese from leaking, shaping it round.
- Wet the surface, coat with white sesame, and bake in an oven (or clay oven). The heat melts the meat juices and cheese together inside.
