Ingredients

  • 250 g all-purpose flour , around 2 cups
  • 2 tsp. instant yeast
  • 150 ml milk , with 10ml more for adjusting
  • 2 tbsp. sugar
  • 4 tbsp. sweet red bean paste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a stand mixer, add flour, instant yeast, milk and sugar and then mix at low speed for 8-9 minutes until the dough is soft and smooth.
  2. Cover with a wet cloth and set aside in warm place until the dough is double in size. Press the dough down (to remove most of the air inside) and then divide the dough into four equal portions.
  3. Divide your sweet bean paste into four equal portions and roll each one into a thin and long log around 12cm long.
  4. Take one portion out and knead for 3-4 minutes until there is no small holes inside. And then roll it out to a long rectangle piece (around 12 cm long). Place the sweet red bean paste log at 1/3 height of the rectangle dough piece, roll from one side tightly.
  5. Cut the two ends off (to remove any odd shaped buns) and then divide the long log into 15 pieces. Lay the small buns into your steamer and cover the lid, otherwise they will be dried out because of the air stream.
  6. Repeat to finish all the other three dough portions.
  7. Add cold water in pot and set up your steamer, rest for 30 minutes and steam for around 15 minutes after the water boils.
