Steamed Taro Buns
Directions
- 1Make the dough using 0.75 cup of chilled whole milk, 1 tsp of active dry yeast and 2 cups of bleached all purpose flour.
- 2Mix the ingredients using a spatula until a dough ball forms.
- 3Beat the dough for 10 minutes on high speed in a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment. If you don't have one, knead with your hands for double the time.
- 4The dough shouldn't feel dry or sticky, but smooth.
- 5Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces.
- 6Divide the 6 oz of storebought taro paste into six 1 oz pieces.
- 7Take one piece of dough and roll it out, keeping the center thicker than the edges.
- 8Roll the 1 oz taro filling into a sphere.
- 9Add the taro sphere to the center of the flattened dough ball.
- 10Gather the edges with your fingers using a pinching motion, then twist to seal.
- 11Round out the bun with your hands and repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
- 12Transfer buns into a steamer basket, let them rest until doubled in size, and steam for 15 minutes.
