Keeping kids at home during this pandemic time means we have to think of endless activities with them 😐 they are either bored/hungry all-day-long. Very often they request for making steamed buns/mantou as they get to have some edible sensory play. This time we made the dough in 2 colors ,red and green.
I made a bigger batch of dough using the thermomix (total dough about 490g i.e 16 buns of 30g Each)
Adjusted recipe from “Perfection with Thermomix in 7 days -quick steamed buns” with some adjustments so dough is less sticky for the kids to handle.
Ingredients:
- 150g unsweetened soymilk
- 3/4 tsp instant yeast
- 18g caster sugar
- 20g olive oil
- 290g hongkong flour
- 3g red yeast powder
- 1 tsp matcha powder
- 0.5 tbsp black sesame seeds
- A pinch of salt
Steps:
- Mix water , yeast , sugar and oil in mixing bowl , 1 min ,speed 2
- Add in flour and salt – knead for 2 mins
- Take 220g of dough out and put in a separate bowl to mix with matcha powder manually.
- Add red yeast powder and sesame seeds in the mixing bowl and knead for 20 seconds.
- Remove dough from mixing bowl and divide each colored dough to 16 pieces for each color. Shape as desired. (We shaped it as watermelon , strawberry and some “fancy” shapes but the kiddos 😅)
- Let proof till double (about 30 to 40 mins)
- Steamed on boiling water for 12 mins and let it sit in the steamer for 5 mins before taking it out to avoid shrinkage.
Love,
