chinese bun
dough
bowtze
yes you can buy bun dough mix at any Chinese Grocer, but this mix is a little less fluffy and a bit more tasty.
Bakers flour has become harder to find but I have noticed recently in Foodland [South Australian supermarket brand] they are selling a self raising flour touted to be for buns. If you use this, just halve the amount of baking powder. Equally it is great to see double action baking powder availabe in small quantities instead of the humungous A10 tin.
BROUGHT OVER FROM GALAXYGUIDES 17 APRIL 2024
for the dough
10g dry yeast
180g luke warm water
25g vegetable oil
25g caster sugar
350g bakers flour
8g double action baking powder
5g fine sea salt
the dough benefits
from a chill
Put the yeast, water oil and sugar into a bowl and whisk together, add half the flour, work in a little and then add the remaining flour and baking powder and work into a smooth ball. The dough can be proved and knocked back and used but it benefits from being refrigerated for several hours or over night before being proved.
tip — it is impossible to give an exact time for proving. They should almost double in size before being steamed and will expand by at least another 50% in the steamer.
weigh the dough
Unless you are making buns or bread rolls on a daily basis the chance of getting them an even size by sight is pretty unusual. Weighing the dough is the best way for uniformity.
