Anyone on here ever made home-made BAO buns?

That's my next bread adventure and I'm looking for any tips or recipes anyone has.

I've made tons. I tried quite a few recipes, but Marion's has turned out the best with me in tge beginning. I use a standmixer for the dough, and the resting times are the key for fluffiness.

I've made a few tweaks for Finnish ingredients, but this is a very good starting place.

You can also bake 'em for good rolls.

I used last week.

1 cup of milk
1 tbsp butter
(Heat these till it is appropriate for your yeast)

0.25 oz dry yeast
Bloom it in the liquid

About 2,5 cups of flour
1tsp of baking soda
1,5 tsp of sugar
0,5 tap salt

Mix dry, add liquid. Add water if necessary.

Knead until forms a ball and unsticks to hand
Rest for 30 mins

Cut into pieces, fold the middle
Either semolina in the fold or brush with olive oil

Let rise for 1-1,5 hours

Steam until done

@Fiikus_goddess @misslovelymess @XSGeek that is one that fiikus sent me a while back and I keep in my notes app.

@Fiikus_goddess @misslovelymess @XSGeek instead of olive oil to keep the fold over from baking together, I used toasted sesame oil because of wanted that flavor in my meal.

@Fiikus_goddess @misslovelymess @XSGeek and I only made half baos, the other half I naked at 350 for about 22 min in a pan of butter and brown sugar to have monkey bread too.

@Kurtroedeger @misslovelymess @XSGeek
Naked baos? What kind of cooking are you doing there, cookie monster?

😂😂

Yup, I use straight up milk and butter instead of milk powder and oil in the dough.

Makes for moist, fluffy baos, that reheat well to the next day.
