Tibetan Steam Buns or Ting momo

My Tibetan Grandma often used to make this using sourdough starters when we were kids for breakfast, so I learnt it from her but I use yeast instead of sourdough starter to proof my dough. We have this soft fluffy steam buns with cheese tomato chutney, groundnut chutney, cheese curries , veg / non veg curries etc. My son starts from breakfast and ends with dinner whenever I make 😀. The recipe make about 6-8 buns depending on the size and shapes. I usually steam it for 15 minutes. I hope you will also make it and enjoy with your family ☺️ ( Apart from the steaming/ cooking time given you need preparation and proofing time in hand ...all is given in the recipe below.) #BreadDay

1 1/2 tsp

Instant Dry yeast

1 1/2 tbsp

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Shift the flour / maida and add instant dry yeast, sugar, salt and veg oil or butter and give it a mix. Now add lukewarm water little at a time and knead a soft dough (knead at least for 15-20 minutes-stretching and folding)

* Step 2

Now apply little oil on the dough, cover the bowl of dough with wet kitchen towel or cling wrap and keep in a warm place for an hour for proofing- in proofing the dough will almost double in size (it may take a longer time if it's a cold place and a shorter time if it's a hot place for the dough to proof).

* Step 3

Once the dough proofs, punch it and let the air release from it. Now take small dough and shape it as per your preference- like dinner rolls, braided buns etc. (Use little dry maida/flour to help you in shaping). Place it in a greased steamer or use a parchment paper. Keep the buns at a distance (at least 4 to 5 cm apart) because again it will double in size (just like in the given pictures).

* Step 4

Once you have finished shaping cover it with wet kitchen towel and let it proof again for 45 minutes to an hour. (The buns will double in size.)

* Step 5

In the meanwhile, boil the water in the base (vessel) of the steamer (you can use any kind of steamer available with you).Once proofed, steam the buns for 15-20 minutes till the buns are done (The buns will shine, if it's done) serve the warm soft fluffy steamed buns with chutneys, curries etc. Bon Appetit!!!
