Looking for Chinese bun recipe?

Question

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?

Answer 1

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.
