Looking for Chinese bun recipe?

These buns are usually filled with barbecue pork and sold in Chinese bakeries. The bread is very soft and quite moist. Does anyone have the recipe?Looking for Chinese bun recipe?
Makes 16 buns



Chinese Bun Dough

1 1/4oz package active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)

1 teaspoon granulated sugar

1 cup lukewarm water (105-115F)

3 cups all-purpose flour (reserve 1 tablespoon if mixing by hand)



In small bowl, sprinkle yeast and sugar evenly over the lukewarm water; stir

until yeast dissolves. Let stand 10 minutes or until foamy.



In large bowl or in food processor, combine flour and yeast mixture and mix

well, or process 1 minute. If mixing by hand, sprinkle work surface with the

reserved 1 tablespoon flour; turn dough out onto work surface and knead

until dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.



Spray large bowl with nonstick cooking spray; place dough in bowl. Cover

loosely with plastic wrap or a damp towel, and let rise until dough triples

in volume, about 3 hours. Punch down and wrap in plastic until ready to use.

Will keep 3 days in the refrigerator and up to 2 months in the freezer.Looking for Chinese bun recipe?
