CHINESE STEAMED BUNS (MANTOU)
I lived in China back in the early 90's and these were a breakfast favorite dipped in sweetened condensed milk. I thought they were like the bread version of marshmallows! I found them again at a Chinese restaurant this weekend, which sent will on a quest to find the recipe. I'm keeping it here at Zaar so I never lose it. Unfortunately, I'm not a low-carb diet right now. Bummer!

Steps:
- In a small bowl, sprinkle yeast and sugar over 4 tablespoons of the warm water and leave it for 15 minutes.
- Place the flour in a bowl and make a well in the center. Pour in the yeast mixture and the remaining water. Mix everything to form a dough.
- Turn it onto a floured board and knead until smooth.
- Return dough to the bowl, cover and let it stand in a warm place for about an hour or until doubled in size.
- Punch down, cover again and let it stand for 20 minutes longer.
- Knead the dough again and shape into rolls.
- Bring the water in the bottom of a steamer to a boil. Place the rolls in the steamer, leaving a 1- inch gap between them. Cook for 10 minutes or until firm and cooked through.
- Serve them hot.

MANTOU / BAOZI / STEAMED BUN DOUGH I
This dough can be used to make Chinese steamed buns, called mantou, or filled buns, called baozi. These fluffy, chewy, warm and unusual breads are common breakfasts, sides and meals in much of China. They are especially popular in Shanghai (Baozi) and Beijing (Mantou), where window-stall and small shop vendors sell them. Because this is the less unhealthy version with some whole wheat substitutions, they can be finicky based on dampness and temperature -- I fnd adjusting down the amount of flour is the best bet. These are fantastic piping hot, or with any of my three filling recipes!

Steps:
- Mix the yeast and flours in a large bowl.
- Dissolve the sugar and add the peanut oil in the water.
- Add to the flour bowl and mix thoroughly.
- Knead dough until it becomes a consistent ball, adding milk or more flour as needed (I usually end up using a tad more than 1/2 cup of milk).
- Cover dough in a bowl and allow to rest 10 - 15 minutes.
- Remove dough, pound it down, and re-knead until it forms a fully elastic dough ball.
- Place ball in a greased, covered bowl and allow to rise for 40 minutes to 1 hour, until doubled or tripled in bulk.
- Divide into 16-24 small dough balls, or roll out into one large flat rectangle on a floured surface.
- Flatted dough balls with a rolling pin, OR measure 3 - 5 inch rounds out of the pressed rectangle.
- Fill each flat round with roughly 2 tbs of the filling of your choice in the center. Pull the dough on all sides from the corners up to the top, and 'twist' to close.
- Steam filled buns (baozi) for 15 - 25 minutes over high heat.
- NOTE: Plain buns, or mantou, can be obtained by simply omitting the filling.

CHINESE STEAMED BUNS (MANTOU)
The Chinese steamed bun sometimes known as Mantou, is a kind of steamed bun originating from Northern China. Most contain wheat flour, water and leavening agents making them an equivalent to the white bread that is a staple in the U.S.A. The filling varies quite a bit. Mantou are also known in the south, but are often served as street food or a restaurant dish, rather than as a staple of home cooking.

Steps:
- You will also need a rice steamer and some parchment paper.
- Directions:.
- Mix yeast, flour and sug arand salt. Stir well. Add melted lard, vinegar and egg white, mix thoroughly. Result should resemble grains of sand. Add in enough water to turn dough into a ball.
- Knead for about 6-8 minutes with a dough hook in your mixer. If kneading by hand, take a little longer.
- When properly kneaded dough is not overly sticky, very smooth, pulls apart without being stringy. If you under knead your dough, it will flatten when you steam it. If you over knead your dough, it will become very hard.
- Oil up dough ball and place it in a metal bowl. Put a damp paper towel or rag over your bowl let it rest in a warm place to rise for an hour. It should double in size. If you wish, you can set your oven on the keep warm setting and place your bowl in there for an hour.
- Soak the wood ears and shiitake mushrooms in hot water to revive them. Chop them into fine pieces. Next chop your chives. Place your pork and chicken into a bowl and add all of the chopped items. Mix thoroughly. Add in seasonings.
- To test: Place a spoonful in a bowl and nuke it in the microwave. Try it out and add more seasoning as needed.
- Your filling should be relatively sticky and dry. If it is too watery, your dough will get soggy and it will be hard to fill. Make sure everything is well drained!
- Cut parchment paper to 2-3 inch squares. If your buns will be big, cut bigger squares. This will keep your buns from being stuck to your steamer.
- Knead dough to get all of the air out. Knead into sausage shapes and cut into little pieces. Flatten your dough with your hand and spoon filling into dough. Bring all edges to the center and pinch closed. Place on top of parchment paper and set in a cookie tray to rise for 30 minutes.
- Do not overstuff, buns will expand too much. Insure the bottoms of buns aren't too thin or juices from filling will make bottom soggy.
- Ready your steamer and make sure to boil extra water for steaming. Place your buns in the steamer. Steam for 15 minutes (or 20 if your buns are big) and enjoy!

- Sift flour and baking powder into the mixing bowl of an electric mixer. Add instant yeast, sugar, oil and alkaline water. Fit with a dough hook and process at low speed for a minute. Gradually add in water and continue to process at medium speed for 4-5 minutes until a smooth dough is formed.
- Remove dough onto a lightly floured tabletop and knead for 3-4 minutes. Cover dough with a damp tea towel and allow to rise until it doubles in bulk. Cut dough into equal pieces of about 50g each. Cover with a piece of cling film and set aside for 2-3 minutes.
- Roll the pieces of dough into a ball, then flatten with the palm of your hand. Brush one half of the flattened dough with corn oil. Fold over into a half moon shape. Use a spatula to cut the half moon shape dough on the edge to resemble a split flower.
