Step 1
Mix flour, sugar, softened butter, and egg yolk in a bowl until a dough forms. Knead 1 minute until smooth.
Step 2
Divide pineapple dough into 4 balls. Flatten each and press onto the top of a brioche roll, stretching gently.
Step 3
Score the pineapple topping in a crosshatch pattern with a knife. Place rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
Step 4
Bake at 400°F for 12–15 minutes until the topping is golden and crackled, and the base is lightly browned.
Step 5
While rolls bake, warm char siu pork and hoisin sauce together in a small skillet over medium heat for 3 minutes.
Step 6
Slice each warm bun in half and fill with char siu pork mixture. Serve immediately.
