Hua juan bao are traditional Chinese steamed buns, known for their flower-like shape and delicate flavor. They are often served for breakfast or as a side with meals.
Ingredients
- 500 g wheat flour
- 1 tsp dry yeast
- 300 ml warm water
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 4 scallions, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp neutral vegetable oil
- Extra flour for the work surface
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the yeast, sugar and warm water and let stand for 10 minutes, until foamy.
- Add the flour and salt and knead to a smooth dough. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, until doubled.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly. Divide it into 12 equal pieces.
- Roll each piece of dough into a long, flat rectangle. Brush each rectangle with sesame oil, sprinkle with chopped scallions and roll it up from the long side.
- Fold the dough roll in half and twist the ends together to form the typical flower shape.
- Place the shaped buns in a steamer basket lined with parchment paper, cover with a cloth and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Set the steamer basket over the boiling water and steam the buns for 20 minutes, until puffed and cooked through.
