Hi, Can you tell me is bread flour plain flour. Love your cooking. Thanks and hope to hear from you soon

[@lingscookingescapade]

Hi, bread flour is different than plain flour.

[@davidwong1287]

@@lingscookingescapade So if we do not have bread flour in our country, what is the alternative. Please advise. Thank you

[@terrencebrown5343]

@@davidwong1287 Bread flour has more gluten than regular flour; that makes the bread a little chewier/tougher. In general, you can replace 1 c. plain flour for 1 c. bread flour. If you want to make bread flour you can by taking out 1 1/2 tsp. of regular flour and substituting with 1 1/2 tsp. wheat gluten. But regular flour will work just fine in your bao.

[@andrewbradshaw9034]

Looks interesting.. I might give this a go. Curious though about two things; What is the window pane test? Why did you stick your finger in the dough and confirm that the dough was ready? Many thanks.

[@MulYeungCooking]

The window pane test is a means of testing how developed the gluten in the dough is. Basically you stretch a portion of the dough until it is almost translucent (which reminds people of a window pane) and does not break/tear in the process of doing so. Poking the dough is a test to see if the dough has properly proofed. The yeast "eats" the sugars and creates gas which generates pressure. If the bread hasn't fully proofed yet, that finger hole would close up from the pressure of escaping gas. If you bake under-proofed or over-proofed dough, it won't rise during the baking process.

[@lingscookingescapade]

Well explained!!👍🏻

[@clarabelledjapardy6401]

hii there! I can't seem to find the yellow bean paste, is there any substitute? thankyou! 😄

[@lingscookingescapade]

You can just omit the Yellow Bean paste😉

[@helentan4165]

What is double cream? Is it the same as whipping cream

[@lingscookingescapade]

It’s just a different term used in UK for whipping cream😉

[@margaretlim1348]

Hi Ling, I just tried baking your char siu Bao, but some how it wasn’t fluffy n soft enough when cooled. What can I do to make them softer, add more milk ? Butter? Thanks!

[@lingscookingescapade]

Did you knead the dough and let it proof at the required length of time? I wouldn’t change any of the ingredients in the recipe. More milk will only make the dough softer and stickier to handle.

[@margaretlim1348]

Yes, I used mixer machine. N proved abt 50 mins. 🤷‍♀️

[@margaretlim1348]

Oh, I did 1 n 1/2 hrs for first proving.
