Ingredients

Makes about 8-10 buns
  1. 300 gcake flour
  2. 40 gsugar
  3. 1 pinchsalt
  4. 1 teaspoondry yeast
  5. 2 teaspoonsbaking powder
  6. 1 tablespoonnonfat dry milk
  7. 2/3 cupwarm water (150ml)
  8. 1 tablespoonvegetable oil
  9. 1/4 cupmilk (50ml) + 1/3 cup warm water (100ml) if nonfat dry milk is not available

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    In a bowl, mix cake flour, sugar, salt, dry yeast, baking powder, and nonfat dry milk. Add warm water and knead the mixture.

  2. 2

    Once it comes together, add vegetable oil and continue kneading until the surface is smooth. Cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rise for about 30 minutes for the first fermentation.

  3. 3

    When the dough has roughly doubled in size, take it out onto a surface, divide it into the desired number of pieces, and reshape into balls. Make sure the dough doesn't dry out at this stage.

  4. 4

    Roll the dough into circles with a rolling pin and wrap the filling. (Roll the center thicker and the edges thinner. If the bottom is too thin, moisture from the filling may seep through.)

  5. 5

    Place the wrapped buns on cut pieces of parchment paper, arrange them in a steamer with space between each, and spray with water to prevent drying. Let them rise for about 15 minutes for the second fermentation.

  6. 6

    After the second fermentation, set the steamer over a pot of boiling water and steam for 15 minutes on high heat. They're ready!

  7. 7

    If you don't have a bamboo steamer, you can use a large pot. Place a cloth between the pot and the lid, leaving a small gap to prevent water droplets from falling on the buns.

  8. 8

    The first fermentation time may vary depending on the season and room temperature, so it's okay to let it rise longer than 30 minutes. Be careful not to over-ferment.

  9. 9

    If you find it difficult to roll out the dough in step 4, let the dough rest for about 15 minutes after step 3 to make it easier to roll out.
