Ingredients
- All-purpose flour required for kneading
- oil for brushing , if you are using wood mat for your steamer
For the basic dough
- 200 g all-purpose flour , around 2 cups
- 60 g whole wheat flour , around 1 and 1/4 cup
- 154 g water , around 154 ml
- 3 g instant yeast
Instructions
- Mix all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour and yeast. And then stir the water in slowly. During the process, mix the flour with a chopstick.
- Grasp all the flocculent flour chunks together and then knead to a smoothie ball. Cover with wet cloth or plastic wrap for fermentation. In hot summer days, only 40 minutes is needed for the fermentation process.
- Take the dough out when it doubles in size or have rich honeycomb texture. Keep kneading to punch the air out.
- Roll the dough into a long log and then cut into eight small sections. Roll each section to an oval piece. Pile it up and shape into a lotus leaf or whatever shape you like. Then make some decoration with a fork.
- Brush some oil on the bottom and place the buns on your steamer. Please do leave some space between each one because during the process, they will become intumescent. Cover the lid and rest the buns for 15 to 20 minutes until the buns becomes fluffy again.
- Steam for around 20 minutes after the water boils. After stopping the fire, wait for around 5 minutes before moving out and enjoying.
Notes
- You can match them with any filling you like. Savory and spicy fillings are highly recommended.
