Chinese Steam Bun (包子)

Today it's my first time making steam chinese Bun (Curry Bao). I usually buy the instant Bun flour which it has all the flour mixture ready. However, I found the flavor and texture is not as good, therefore i decided to make the doug myself, the filling can be anything you like, i choose curry curry with potatoes and sweet pandan coconut jam (Kaya). for this time.. both taste really good and i feel happy and contented to see the bun made by myself..

Ingredients for dough:
3 cups of bread flour
1 packet of Rapid Rise Yeast (~2 tsp, 5g)
2 tsp of sugar
1 tsp of salt
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 1/8 cups of warm water (or milk)

mix all the dough ingredients together; knead the dough until it does not stick to your hand. . Set the dough aside at warm place to rise ~ 2hr (cover with wet kitchen cloth). The dough will rise double the original size. Punch the dough with your hand to release the air in the dough. Roll the dough and cut into small round pieces. The ingredients make ~ 20 buns.
