Bao Buns

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 cup warm water
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon yeast
• 2 ¼ cups unbleached wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 tablespoons oil

Instructions

• 1 In a bowl, combine water, sugar, and yeast. Stir to incorporate and set aside to
  activate.
• 2 Once the yeast has activated, add flour and onion powder and mix until a dough
  forms.
• 3 Knead the dough for 10-15 minutes until the consistency is smooth and elastic,
  and roll it into a ball. Cover the ball with a damp cloth for 40 minutes to
  allow the dough to rise.
• 4 Once the dough has risen, cut the ball into 8 pieces, rolling each piece into a
  ball. Cover the dough balls with the cloth again allowing them to rise.
• 5 Once the dough balls have risen, Use a rolling pin to roll them out into 7-9"
  disks.
• 6 Place a disk on a piece of parchment paper, brush the top side with oil, gently
  fold it in half, then place it in the steamer. Repeat with the remaining dough.
• 7 Steam the buns for 10 minutes.
• 8 Build your bao bun with the fillings of your choice, serve, and enjoy!
