Pau (steam bun)

I am no longer 'performing' from my ussual kichen, where I had normally prepared food/took pictures for this blog. I left the house 2 weeks ago and now transit somewhere else before we sign off from Sydney for good. I left my job as well since last monday, and now I became soooo free for blogging. My routine since then is taking care of our 'Nina' as well as sitting in front of my laptop doing nothing hhehehehe.


I found few pictures of my cooking in my C drive. Those pictures were taken weekssss ago when I was sooo busy with packing and sending our stuffs to Malaysia, and some were taken during my confinement, which was nearly 4 months agooo hehehhehe, banyang kan lah!

So this Pau is one of it! Talking about this Pau, I just fallen in love with this recipe. I was like kena curse before this. Whenever I tried any pau recipe, it didnt turn out well all the time. Sometime terkecut la, sometime terkeras laa, but this one, wallaaaa! The picture tells i guess..

All I like about this recipe is, it does not require specific measurement. Just agak2 aje ok...

• 2-3 cups bread flour
• ** 1 tablespoon sugar
• **1 heap teaspoon yeast
• ** 50 ml warm water
• sufficient water to form dough
• 2 table spoon vege oil
• 1 and half teaspoon vinegar

1. Mix ingredients marked with **. Disolve sugar and let it sit for a while until yeast looks breezing.
2. Pour mixture 1 into flour. Mix it.
3. Add in vinegar, oil.
4. Add in water little by little and form a dough.
5. Knead to get elastic/smooth dough. What I did, I jut put them into my bread maker and let it do the job.
6. When it ready, filling as u like. Sit it for while.
7. Pour few spoons vivegar in the water when steaming. Steam in preheated steamer for 10 - 12 minutes.
