Chinese Steamed Bao Buns (Plain/All Purpose Flour)| 挂包的做法

Easy Chinese Steam Bao Buns with basic ingredients during this stay home period. These bao buns are soft and fluffy. Depending on the flour type and quality, some may be slightly chewy. I came up with this recipe for those who do not have Hong Kong flour.
Bao bun recipe using Hong Kong Flour: (Shopee Link: • Chinese Steam Bao Buns... )
Bao Buns are known as Chinese Hamburgers because it opens up like a hamburger and you can put any filling in the middle. Goes well with braised pork belly or famously known as Tau Yu Bak “豆油肉”. See recipe: • Braised Soya Sauce Por...
These Chinese Steam Bao Buns also taste delicious with butter and sugar, kaya, curries, vegetarian and any other savoury fillings.
❤ Ingredients:
150 grams ( 1 cup + 3 tablespoon ) superfine flour/plain flour/all purpose flour 细腻中筋面粉/中筋面粉 150克 （1杯 + 3汤匙）(I used PRIMA brand TOP flour for this recipe, its a superfine plain flour with 9.5% protein content. If you can get this flour, that would be great. If not, this recipe is suitable for other superfine flour and plain flour/all purpose flour 这个食谱，我使用PRIMA牌子的TOP FLOUR, 这是细腻中筋面粉, 有9.5%蛋白质。如果没有这种面粉其他的细腻中筋面粉或普通中筋面粉也可以）

Hello Miss Ruyi! I finally made the best buns I made so far. I used Gold Medal AP. It’s not as white as the previous AP I used but it is lighter since the protein content is 10%. Plus I also found that it helps not to press the rolling pin too hard so as not to press out too much air, and in turn give fluffier and softer buns… thank you so much for your recipe. I’m eating one with Nutella filling right now 😋

Hello Miss Ruyi, I have tried a few of your recipes. They are excellent. I can't buy Hong Kong flour in Australia. Only can buy Purple Orchid Brand low gluten flour made in China. The buns are quite good. Just wondering if I use Hong Kong flour it could be even better. Are you in Singapore? Next time when I travel I will get some. Thanks

[@ruyiasianrecipes]

Hi there really happy that it turned out great. Thanks very much for your support ☺️ . I’m not sure about the difference cos I’ve not tried purple orchid brand low gluten flour but if you could get your hands on Hong Kong flour definitely worth giving it a try. I’m from Malaysia but can definitely get Hong Kong flour from Singapore. Have a good day ☺️

I saw TOP flour in the video but in your ingredient list is superfine flour or plain flour. So is it TOP flour that use for cake baking?

[@ruyiasianrecipes]

Hi sorry for the confusion. Yes I used PRIMA TOP flour in this video recipe. Definitely recommend this particular brand of flour if you can get . Hope this helps 😊

[@shilipatel]

Hello. How long did you proof the dough for ? And can I use same amount of cake flour instead of top flour ? :)

[@ruyiasianrecipes]

Hi please replace with plain flour instead of cake flour. Cake flour is not suitable, the dough will become sticky. First time just rest 5 mins, then after shaping proof for about 1 hour, you will see the the dough is more plump and also more smooth

[@chensacasa32]

Hi! Love your buns.. just one question.. is it better to start making the shape of the buns befor proofing 1 or two times?? And how can i make white buns with all purpose flour or bread flour??

[@ruyiasianrecipes]

Hi thanks for liking my recipe. I'm not quite clear on the question. Do you mean shaping the buns before the first rest time? The rest time is to allow the gluten to relax. so its easier to shape the buns after resting the dough. Its difficult to make the buns white with all purpose flour or bread flour. The only was I'm aware of it to use a special flour called Hong Kong flour. Its a bleached flour so its whiter. another way is to use superfine flour. this flour is also whiter compared to AP flour or bread flour. See video on bao buns using Hong Kong flour. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3-pg3-tmqaNj80

[@chensacasa32]

@@ruyiasianrecipes thanks for answering.. the thing is that in this video you start shaping the buns without resting the dough.. can you do it that way also??

[@ruyiasianrecipes]

ah...I have many steam bun recipes, got abit confused myself. Yes, for plain flour/AP flour, don't have to proof first time. And yes, don't have to rest the dough before shaping. Sometimes, you can let it rest for 2-5 minutes if your dough is still not very smooth after kneading. Its because the water absorption rate for the different flours are not the same. The method for steaming buns is very different from baking bread. Somehow, if you proof 2 times like making bread, after you steam the bun, it will not have a very smooth surface. Hope this answers your question. 😁

[@Wingburner]

Hi Ruyi I plan to use flour with 9gm protein. Do I still need to use wheat starch? Also, is Hong Kong flour also known as Rose Flour? Thanks!

[@ruyiasianrecipes]

Hi missed your comment, yes with wheat starch it will have more fine texture. Rose brand has quite a few different types of flour. Unless it states Hong Kong flour or special flour for steam buns

Hi, the Prima flour you used is 低筋面粉 right?? After watching your all of your buns videos, I noticed that the buns made using Hongkong Flour is a little bit more chewy than using plain flour. Is it true? or is it just my feeling? Hahahaha... What is the main difference of buns made using HK flour and plain flour? Anyway. Thanks for making so many good quality videos and recipe and sharing it with the world.

[@ruyiasianrecipes]

Hi there again! the prima flour I use is superfine all purpose flour like 细腻中筋面粉。 the bun using hong kong flour is not chewy, its cotton soft like the buns in dim sum restaurants. the plain flour is also soft. Usually plain flour makes more chewy buns but I added cake flour and wheat starch to soften the texture. Hope the explanations help. Thanks for your support. 😁

Just wondering why the use of icing sugar, is it because it blends better with the flour, and two different yeasts, that seems quite unique. I have watched several recipes and yours looks to be a top favourite of mine, thanks for sharing

[@ruyiasianrecipes]

Hello 👋 icing sugar has a little cornstarch so it softens the dough. Also if you use sugar, it tends to have more moisture.

Hi there, sorry it took me some time to get back to you, pretty busy this week. I just tested with Pao flour. It seems to work as well but the proofing time took me 40-45 minutes. 😁😅 . Texture wise, not ideal for me. Its soft, fluffy as well but slightly sticky. If you have Hong Kong flour, do test out those buns using Hong Kong flour like my custard bun recipe, definitely much nicer and the success rate is higher. 😋

Hi there I’m from Malaysia! If it’s the same as all purpose flour yes can be used. Don’t need to place in a warm place to proof. If your area less than 29degrees Celsius probably need to proof longer than 1 hour. Best to use same amount of ingredients because difficult to divide some ingredients like yeast and baking powder.
