I love fluffy steamed buns. After a lot of research , and finally completing this recipe, I decided to post it here.
Now it has been over 10 years since I first introduced this recipe. It is scary how fast time flies .

Be very careful not to let the surface of the dough dry out while it rises. Use a spray bottle to mist the dough, or a damp tea towel to keep the surface moist.
Since the dough is slightly sweet, you can fill the buns with anko or another sweet filling. Try many different combinations. Recipe by Shunashuna

Steps

1

Combine the flour, sugar, salt, yeast, baking powder, and skim milk in a bowl. Mix them together, then add in enough of the warm water to bring the mixture together into a dough.
2

Once you can bring the dough together, add in the vegetable oil, and knead the dough until the surface becomes smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a damp tea towel, or spray with water and cover with plastic wrap before setting the dough to rise for about 30 minutes.
3

When the dough has roughly doubled in size, gently remove the dough and place it on your work surface. Divide the dough into portions according to how many buns you want to make. #Keep the dough moist with a spray bottle or damp tea towel during this process. Don't let it dry out.
4

Form each piece of dough into a ball, and flatten it into a disc with a rolling pin. Add the filling and wrap it up in the dough. ※Here you want to make the center of the dough a bit thicker than the edges, otherwise the juices from the filling may leak through.
5

Set the finished buns on some parchment paper, and line them up in a steamer, leaving space between the buns so that they don't stick together. Spray the buns so they do not dry out, and leave them to rise for about 15 minutes.
6

Once they have finished rising, steam the buns over boiling water for 15 minutes (high heat). Once the buns are steamed, you are done!!!
7

If you do not have a steamer basket, you can steam these buns in a pot. Just be sure to place a tea towel between the top of the pot and the lid, and to leave the lid a tiny bit open. This will keep the buns from getting too wet.
