My Bao Buns

Are Bao Buns supposed to be sweet? Store-bought Bao Buns are too sweet for me. I made less sweet Bao Buns based on my dough for Nikuman (Steamed Pork Buns). https://cookpad.com/uk/recipes/6154606-nikuman-steamed-pork-buns

Ingredient

Food ration :

8 Buns

1 cup (250 ml)

Self-Raising Flour

1/2 cup

Bread Flour

1 pinch

Salt

1 teaspoon

Dry Yeast

1/2 cup

Warm Water

1 tablespoon

Sugar *add extra 1 tablespoon if you want sweeter

1 teaspoon

Rice Vinegar

1 tablespoon

Oil of your choice *plus extra to brush

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Place Warm Water, Dry Yeast and Sugar in a bowl, mix gently and set aside.

* Step 2

Place Self Raising Flour, Bread Flour and Salt in a large bowl, and mix to combine. Make a well in the centre and pour in the yeast mixture, Oil and Rice Vinegar. Mix well to form a soft dough. Allow to rest for 1 hour.

* Step 3

Divide the dough into 8 portions. Roll each portion into 5mm thin oblong. Brush Oil over the top side, and fold in half. *Note: You may wish to brush Sesame Oil for extra flavour.

* Step 4

Place each bun on a piece of baking paper (size 10 x 10cm). Allow to rest for 30 to 60 minutes or until doubled in size.

* Step 5

Pour water into a steamer and bring to the boil over high heat. Place buns into steamer, cover with lid and cook for 10 minutes. Repeat with remaining buns.

* Step 6

Serve while they’re still warm with your favourite fillings. Today I filled with stir-fried Prawns, Tomato and Egg with Lettuce. Any flavours will go well with these buns.
