Fluffy Steamed Mantou Buns

Place flour in a mound on a cleaned surface and create a well in the middle using fingers or a spoon.

Add the yeast, a pinch of salt, and sugar in the well.

Gradually pour in the water while bringing the surrounding flour into the mixture.

Knead for 10 to 12 minutes until a very smooth dough is formed.

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and mold each into a ball on parchment paper.

Let the buns rest for 30 minutes uncovered.

Prepare a pot for steaming.

Place buns in a bamboo steamer and steam over high heat for 12 minutes.

Remove and serve warm.
