COMMON PREPARATION FOR BUNS & BAOS
1. Organising. Place all the ingredients for the leaven in a cup: the yeast, sugar and milk. Set it aside at room temperature.
2. Adding together. In the Lékué bread-maker or a bowl, add the dry products: the flour, salt, sugar, yeast and a pinch of baking soda. Now add the leaven mixture to the dry ingredients.
3. Kneading. Mix by hand until you have a smooth, elastic dough. If you notice that the dough is sticking to your hands too much, spread a little oil and/or flour onto them.
4. Resting time. Cover the dough with a cloth and leave to stand for about 40 minutes in a place free of drafts.
5. Boiling. Boil water in a pot that the Lekue Bun Steamer can nest inside of.
