Share:
Ingredients
Filling
- 3/4 cup toasted black sesame seeds
- 1/4 cup toasted peanuts
- 1/3 cup melted lard or butter
- 1/4 cup sugar
- pinch of salt
- 2 tbsp. water
Dough
- 300 g all-purpose flour
- 155 ml water , chilled cold water in summer, warm water in winter and room temperature water in other days.
- 3 g instant yeast
- 2 tbsp. sugar
- 1 tbsp. vegetable cooking oil
- pinch of salt
- Flour for dusting
Instructions
Filling
- Ground toasted black sesame and toasted peanuts into powder and then mix in sugar, salt lard and water. Combine well and keep in fridge for 1 hour until hardened. Then shape the filling into 10 balls.
Dough
- Melt sugar and yeast in water. Stir to flour and combine well. Add pinch of salt and vegetable cooking oil.
- Use one hand to push the dough and then pull back, change another hand to repeat the process. Use the two hands alternately. You should use the strength of the whole body and knead the dough forcefully. After 5-8 minutes of kneading, the dough should be quite smooth and shinning in appearance.
- Shape the dough into a long log and then cut into 10 equal portions. Before folding, re-knead each piece for a while. The purpose of this step is to remove the air bubbles inside as much as possible. The dough can be extremely smooth after this process and the bun gets a much chewier texture.
Assembling
- Use a scoop to transfer the filling to keep the hand clean and consequently the dough won’t be colored.Use your tiger’s mouth to shape the bun to get a perfect round shape. Then seal the bottom completely.Then roll the assembled dough with hands to perfect the shape.
Steaming
- Place the assembled buns in a lined steamer and set aside for proofing. Note 1 for tips.
- Set up the steamer (both cold water and hot water can work ) and steam for 12 minutes after the water boils. Turn off the fire and rest for 5 minutes. I have shown how to check the buns before steaming. See, how sweet and lovely it is. The buns can be frozen after cooled down in air-tight bag.

Notes
- Use your eye, the buns should be at least 1.5 time in size. Grow greatly and the pinched pleats will be weakened.
- Smell, the well fermented dough has a natural wheat aroma.
- Touch, if you slightly press the dough, it can return very quickly. You can feel it is fluffy.
