I Made Soft Fluffy Steamed Buns From Scratch

I’ve been eating these every other day! Here’s how to make these fluffy steamed buns with that perfect QQ texture.

You can also make a whole batch and pop them in the freezer! I usually just steam them frozen for around 20 minutes and they taste just as good.

Ingredients:

1 cup + 2 tbsp warm water
1 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
500g all purpose flour (a little over 4 cups of flour)
2 1/2 tbsp sugar
1/2 tbsp oil

1. Add sugar into warm water and stir until completely dissolved.
2. Add yeast into lukewarm sugar water mixture. Do not stir, and let sit for 10 minutes. You should see bubbly foam form on top.
3. Slowly add yeast mixture into flour while stirring continuously. Add oil and form into dough.
4. Move dough onto a floured surface and knead until smooth, or use a stand mixer. If kneading with hand, you can rest the dough under a wet towel for 2 - 3 minutes in between to help make kneading easier.
5. Put dough in a bowl and cover with a wet towel. Rest for 5 - 10 minutes.
6. Lightly flour workspace and roll out the dough into a rectangular shape. Use pastry brush to lightly coat surface water and fold inwards into thirds. Repeat this step for 3 to 4 times.
7. Brush surface of dough with water and roll tightly into a log shape, making sure it’s completely sealed.
8. Cut into smaller pieces and rest each piece on top of parchment paper or wax paper.
9. Let dough proof for 20 minutes.
10. If using a steamer, start steaming with cold water on high heat. Once water starts boiling, lower to medium heat and steam for 10 to 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and open the lid just enough for steam to escape for around 3 - 4 minutes.
11. Done!

Excited for you all to try this at home!
