Step 1
Place on ingredients together, according to your bread machine (mine has me putting the sugar, salt, milk, and baking powder in first. Then the Flour, and last the yeast).
Step 2
Set to the dough setting, and let the machine do the rest.
Step 3
Once the dough is done, roll it out onto your countertop/table. Knead the dough a couple of times to create a nice size ball. It shouldn’t be too sticky, but if it is, add a little flour as you kneed it until it is no longer too sticky. You should be able to work it with your hands without issues.
Step 4
Weigh out the bao into 48-gram pieces, then roll them into balls (you might have to do a pinch at the bottom and roll).
Step 5
Taking one at a time, using your rolling pin, roll out small circles about 4 inches (8 cm) in diameter.
Step 6
Then brush olive oil onto one side and fold in half (the oil side is the inside of the fold).
Step 7
Place onto the lined steamer basket. Repeat this process (roll circles, oil, fold, etc) until you fill the trays.
Step 8
Let them rest for 20 minutes.
Step 9
Get your water boiling, into your wok³ and carefully place your steamer basket into the water (I highly recommend using silicone oven mitts).
Step 10
Steam for 20 minutes.
Step 11
Take off the wok/pan (use silicone oven mitts for this step).
Step 12
You can eat them right away, they will be HOT! Otherwise, lift the lid and give them a couple of minutes to cool.
