Still looking for my perfect and easy dough recipe for steamed buns… 🤣been testing different dough recipes which doesn’t require shortening , milk or sourdough starter…
.
This time, I’m using a dough recipe which only uses flour, yeast and water. It has no salt , no sugar and no oil. It was ok to eat but a bit hard when the buns are cooled down. Any idea why? 🙁 luckily my kids love the buns especially the flavorful char siew 😅
