Quick Bao Buns
by Jessie Daye
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (300 g)
- 1 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast (4 g)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (5 g)
- 1 teaspoon white sugar (4 g)
- ⅔ cup + 1 tablespoon lukewarm water or milk
- Oil for brushing (about 1–2 teaspoons or as needed)
Method
- In a large bowl, mix flour, instant yeast, baking powder and sugar. Gradually add water or milk while stir. Combine and knead by hand until a rough-looking dough forms. Rest for 10 minutes then knead for 2-3 minutes until it becomes very smooth.
- Flatten the dough with a rolling pin into a rectangle, about ⅕ inch (½ cm) thick. Use a large round cutter to cut out circles, then roll each piece into an oval shape. Combine the leftover dough and repeat to cut out more (dust with flour when necessary to prevent sticking). Brush oil over half of the oval then fold over lengthways.
- Line the steamer baskets with perforated parchment paper or silicone steamer liners (or oil the surface if using metal or plastic steamers). Place the bao buns over leaving enough space in between for expansion.
