My Bao Buns

Hey everyone, hope you are having an incredible day today. Today, we’re going to make a special dish, my bao buns. One of my favorites. This time, I am going to make it a bit tasty. This is gonna smell and look delicious.

To make the perfect bao buns, you need both yeast and baking powder to help the buns to rise. Start by measuring all of the dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Then measure the warm water and oil into a measuring jug. The water needs to be a bit more than lukewarm to help activate the yeast, but it shouldn't be boiling hot.

My Bao Buns is one of the most well liked of recent trending meals in the world. It’s appreciated by millions every day. It is easy, it’s fast, it tastes yummy. My Bao Buns is something that I’ve loved my whole life. They’re fine and they look fantastic.

To begin with this particular recipe, we have to prepare a few ingredients. You can have my bao buns using 8 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.

The ingredients needed to make My Bao Buns:
  1. Make ready 1 cup (250 ml) Self-Raising Flour
  2. Take 1/2 cup Bread Flour
  3. Prepare 1 pinch Salt
  4. Prepare 1 teaspoon Dry Yeast
  5. Take 1/2 cup Warm Water
  6. Make ready 1 tablespoon Sugar *add extra 1 tablespoon if you want sweeter
  7. Get 1 teaspoon Rice Vinegar
  8. Make ready 1 tablespoon Oil of your choice *plus extra to brush

I make a sweet & savory hoisin tempeh using my favorite tempeh cooking method: steam, marinate, and bake. Marinated, baked tofu would be a delicious option in here as well. As the tempeh bakes, I wash and slice the fresh veggie toppings. Bao means Buns so calling it bao buns doesn't make sense but it is such a cute name!

Instructions to make My Bao Buns:
  1. Place Warm Water, Dry Yeast and Sugar in a bowl, mix gently and set aside.
  2. Place Self Raising Flour, Bread Flour and Salt in a large bowl, and mix to combine. Make a well in the centre and pour in the yeast mixture, Oil and Rice Vinegar. Mix well to form a soft dough. Allow to rest for 1 hour.
  3. Divide the dough into 8 portions. Roll each portion into 5mm thin oblong. Brush Oil over the top side, and fold in half. *Note: You may wish to brush Sesame Oil for extra flavour.
  4. Place each bun on a piece of baking paper (size 10 x 10cm). Allow to rest for 30 to 60 minutes or until doubled in size.
  5. Pour water into a steamer and bring to the boil over high heat. Place buns into steamer, cover with lid and cook for 10 minutes. Repeat with remaining buns.
  6. Serve while they’re still warm with your favourite fillings. Today I filled with stir-fried Prawns, Tomato and Egg with Lettuce. Any flavours will go well with these buns.

As the tempeh bakes, I wash and slice the fresh veggie toppings. Bao means Buns so calling it bao buns doesn't make sense but it is such a cute name!
