Ingredients
- 3⁄4 cup warm water
- 11⁄2 tsp dry active yeast
- 11⁄2 tsp sugar
- 2 tsp canola oil
- ~2 cups all purpose flour
Method
Make the dough
- Add the water, yeast, sugar to a mixing bowl and let sit for 10 minutes
- Add the salt, oil, and 80% of the flour
- Knead in as much of the flour as needed until the dough is very smooth
- Cover and place in a warm spot to prove until doubled (1 hour?)
- Press the dough out so you can divide it up easily
- Divide into 12 or 16 equal portions
- Roll each portion into a ball
Stuff and Steam
- Roll out each ball into a flat disk (the middle should be slightly thicker)
- Pinch the edges even thinner
- Pinch the edges together over the filling
- Place on a piece of parchment paper
- Let assembled buns rest for 15 mins or so before steaming
- Steam for 15–18 minutes
