Back then, their buns were relatively medium-sized (not big, but not too small either) and consumers loved to watch the bakers knead their dough behind the open-concept kitchens.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Nowadays, however, the breads and buns at Bread Talk have shrunk in size by a significant amount, which makes buying a stick of pork floss bun at $1.50 really expensive. Apart from that, other neighbourhood bakeries are making pork floss buns that taste just as good, if not better, than that of Bread Talk&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">That said, I&#8217;ve always wondered what the sticky yummy spread on the bun is that kept the floss right where they should be on the buns. I did not realise it was mayonnaise until recently. I would never have guessed that right, not when making egg mayonnaise is the only thing I always use my mayonnaise for!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/em>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bread flour: 600g, sifted, + extra for rolling<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Milk powder: 100g, sifted<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Instant dry yeast: 4g<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sugar: 70g<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Salt: 9g (1 tsp)<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Water: 300g<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Butter: 40g, softened &amp; cubed<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Egg: 1, beaten<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Egg mayonnaise: 1 flat tbsp per bun (about 1\/2 cup)<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pork floss: 500g<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><strong>Method<\/strong><\/em>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mix dry ingredients together in mixing bowl for 1 min.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Add water.
