A simple, soft and fluffy recipe for Chinese red bean buns made with homemade red bean paste.

Ingredients
- 250 g bao flour or all-purpose flour
- 5 g baking powder
- 135 g warm water
- 15 g granulated sugar
- 4 g active dry yeast
- 10 g avocado oil
- 1 batch homemade red bean paste
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and give it a quick whisk.
- In a small bowl, add the warm water, sugar and yeast. Leave it for a few minutes for the yeast to activate.
- Once the yeast is bubbly, pour it into the flour mixture. Add in the oil and knead with your hands until smooth and shiny, about 10 minutes.
- Cover the dough and let it rest for 20 minutes.
- Divide the rested dough into 10 equal balls, about 35g each.
- Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough, leaving the middle a little raised, and making the edges thinner.
- Place a scoop of red bean paste (about 30g) in the centre of the dough on the mound. Gather and pleat the edges to seal.
- Invert and place it seam-side down onto a parchment square.
- Fit the buns into a bamboo steamer in 1 layer -- I used a 2 tiered steamer (be sure to leave a little room around each bun as they will expand).
- Place the lid on.
- Add about 4 C hot boiling water and 4 C room temperature water into a wok or large pot that you will use to steam the buns over.
- Place the steaming rack over the warm water and leave to proof for 20 minutes.
- Turn on to high heat and once the water has come to a boil, steam the buns for 15 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and leave to rest for 5 minutes before opening the lid.
- After 5 minutes have elapsed, crack open the lid to let the steam escape.
- Remove the buns and serve immediately.
Notes
- It's important to let the buns steam for 5 additional minutes off the heat before opening the lid. This helps prevent the buns from collapsing.
