Steamed Buns

Method

Mix flour, sugar, yeast and salt in a large bowl. Add warm water and oil, then knead for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and leave to rise for 1.5 hours until doubled. Divide dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each into a smooth ball, then flatten slightly and fold in half, sealing the edges gently. Place each bun on a parchment square and arrange on a steamer tray, leaving space between them. Cover and prove for 45 minutes until puffy. Steam over boiling water for 12-15 minutes until cooked through and springy. Brush lightly with sesame oil and serve warm.
