Siopao

In this tutorial I am showing you how to make a basic siopao dough and a quick and easy filling. In my succeeding videos, I hope to share with you other versions of siopao with different filling recipes.
The siopao dough is very basic. Do not add egg or butter or any ingredient that would potentially discolor the dough.
The process for making the siopao dough is slighlty different from the regular bread dough. Pleating the dough needs experience. Be patient if you can't get it right the first few times. You also need to remember to mix only enough dough that you can fit in your steamer at one time. Timing is crucial in making the siopao. Please watch the video in full to avoid disappointment when making your own siopao. A little patience and a lot of practice will be a lot of help. But no matter how the siopao will look, they will all taste delicious! Good luck!
Chef's Notes:
1. Always remember to put a cloth before putting the lid on the steamer so the steam will not fall into the siopao and cause the tops to discolor.
2. Do not allow the dough to over ferment. Your siopao will have a wrinkled look when cooked.
3. Chill the filling before using so it will be easier for you to fill the dough.

I made it to NYC , established friendship with a Miss Cebu who hails from a family of academics. We were puzzled by the Tagalog nurses' disparaging talk calling us "inday". We conducted ourselves with unshakeable self confidence and stayed aloof. Less than stable people are tempted to shake you off your perch to rattle your confidence. I look up to you as my baking mentor so does plenty of viewers.

[@ChefRoseofCaroandMarieCebu]

I can relate. Some of them do not have a high regard for us because for them, we are just probinsiyanas. I console myself by saying that, it is just due to pure ignorance on their part of the facts :) Anyway, walk proud. Be confident! Cebuanos are great! Love is the key :)

The results is great. I used entirely all purpose flour as I don’t have cake flour. And I used pork belly slices instead of pork shoulder and set aside some that have fat. I will definitely be making this recipe. I will freeze some of them in the freezer . And can share this specially when my eldest son comes over . He’ll love this. About the sauce can I use corn flour instead of tapioca starch.

[@joannacepeda3095]

Chef, I follwed your recipe but my dough was a little bit yellow. Is it okay to use Active dry yeast. When I mixed it with water it didn’t make any bubbles

[@ChefRoseofCaroandMarieCebu]

If you use active dry yeast, you need to dissolve it in water and a teaspoon of sugar and wait for it to bubble before using. If it did not bubble after 15 minutes, it means the yeast is dead. You need to buy new yeast. I use instant dry yeast. Homemade siopao is not as white as the commercial siopao.

[@AME503]

Hi Rose, hope you are well. Love all your cooking. Question, can you freeze the siopao buns uncook or do you have to steam them and freeze? Many thanks.

Chef Rose, the dough ingredients for steam siopao is the same for baked siopao? Thanks.

[@ChefRoseofCaroandMarieCebu]

No ma'am. I used a slightly different recipe for baked siopao. Steaming cooks with moist heat while baking cooks with dry heat - hence, you need a different recipe. I have a recipe for toasted or baked siopao coming up in a month.

Hi Chef we don't have shortening here in Norway what can I use instead of it?Thanks a lot

[@robertgarcia-zn7ed]

Where did you get the mat and the steamer .y girl wants to make a food truck to sell siopao here in thee states

[@ChefRoseofCaroandMarieCebu]

You can buy the silicone mat online or in the houseware section of your department stores there, The bamboo steamer can be found in your local Asian Grocery or in a restaurant supplies store there. By the way, my answers are based on my assumption that you live in the US.

[@tlcmore6745]

Chef do you still need to rise the siopao again before steaming ? And do you still wait few minutes after you turn off the stove before opening the lid? Thank you .

[@ChefRoseofCaroandMarieCebu]

Yes you need to allow the dough to rise after filling before steaming it. I open the steamer once the time is up. I know some wait 5 minutes before opening the steamer but I see no reason to do that as long as you put a cloth on top to catch the drippings. But you can try it if it works for you.

[@roslainenatividad1060]

How many minutes of waiting before you put it in the steamer

[@jackiem7724]

Hi Chef,I enjoyed watching your videos. I've been cooking and baking and selling them. I want to improve my cooking and baking. My question is, I noticed that you rest your dough and not let it rise. I see a lot of videos and they rise their siopao dough for at least an hour. I tried your siopao dough and its really very smooth however its not as big as I expected it to be. Can you give me an advise to make it bigger. I weighed the dough between 70-80 grams. Thank you Chef. More power.

[@ChefRoseofCaroandMarieCebu]

Resting the dough and not fermenting (rising) it after mixing is a chinese technique used to prevent the siopao from forming dimples during steaming. You can make the dough softer and bigger by allowing it to rise longer after you have filled them. Thank you for watching! Happy Holidays!

[@ChefRoseofCaroandMarieCebu]

Breads with tanzhong are very very soft compared to those without tanzhong. This method/technique allows the dough to take in more water so the resulting dough is softer. But not all bread recipes are suitable for the tanzhong method. Usually sweet doughs are best for the tanzhong method.

Hi Chef Rose, why is it not necessary for this dough to rise? Thanks and hoping for your response as I would love to make this recipe

[@ChefRoseofCaroandMarieCebu]

This recipe uses a different bread mixing method called the no-time dough. In my experience, this method is best for this recipe because it reduces the chance of over fermentation.

Thank you Chef! Made this yesterday and it was a huge hit with the kids. The buns were yellowish in color but loved the taste and texture.

Could be caused by any of the following: a) Flour. Use bleached flour. b) use shortening NOT oil c) heat too low. Longer steaming means more yellowish dough d) water from steamer dripping into your siopao e) over steaming.

Thank for your reply Chef Rose I appreciated so much ❤❤❤

I have always been successful in all my baking and cooking experiences except for Siopao. It's always a hit or miss. I've tried different recipes and methods by different cooks to a T yet it doesn't turn out what I expect them to be. Could it be the heat? Electric stove heat fluctuates and I'm wondering if it's the culprit. What do you think?

[@ChefRoseofCaroandMarieCebu]

Sorry to hear that. Re siopao, Siopao is one of those recipes that look easy to make, however, you have to be particular about the little details. Timing is very crucial too in siopao making. I can not say for sure what went wrong in your previous attempts because I do not know what reicpe you used. Please do try my recipe to the letter and let me know how it goes. Good luck!

Chef Rose, instead of cassava starch, can I use potato starch?

[@ChefRoseofCaroandMarieCebu]

Yes you can but the consistency and texture is very different. You mean for the siopao sauce. Right?

Ma’am i don’t have all purpose flour, can i use third class flour instead?

[@ChefRoseofCaroandMarieCebu]

No ma'am, you can't use 3rd class flour. Protein content is too low. Your siopao will not be soft.

Yes, you can. 1/2 tsp

Hi Chef Rose. I’m one of your students from PanDeRose class with chef Jackie. Asa ta makapalit ug big steamer diha sa Cebu like yours?

[@ChefRoseofCaroandMarieCebu]

Chef ano pwedeng ipalit sa shortining dito kasi ako sa europe wala kaming shortining

[@ChefRoseofCaroandMarieCebu]

You can use oil instead of shortening but not butter or margarine kasi maging yellow ang siopao mo.

[@jinglegrayda4209]

Hello po! I don't have shortening po, can I use vegetable oil po? Thank you 😊

[@ChefRoseofCaroandMarieCebu]

Yes you can but your siopao will be yellowish in color.

[@jinglegrayda4209]

You can use vegetable oil but your dough will be yellowish.

Madam,di npo ba kailangan i-rise ang dough?rest 15min.lng?Tanong lng po..

[@ChefRoseofCaroandMarieCebu]

Yes ma'am. Rest lang 15 minutes. Tapos lagyan nang filling. Allow to rise for 20-25 minutes before you steam. This is called the no-time dough method.

no proofing time? thanks

[@ChefRoseofCaroandMarieCebu]

No fermentation. But there is a proofing time. Fermentation is rising before forming/shaping. Proofing is rising after shaping. Thank you for watching!

[@cherryrosefiretto4294]

What brand of flour chef.

[@ChefRoseofCaroandMarieCebu]

Baron all purpose flour.
