Homemade Steamed Sweet Buns
- FOR THE BUNS:
- 1/2 pounds, 7/8 ounces, weight Bread Flour
- 1/4 ounces, weight Sugar
- 1/4 ounces, weight Yeast, Active Dry
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt To Taste
- 8 tablespoons, 2 teaspoons, 6 pinches Water
- 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
- _____
- FOR THE FILLING:
- 5 tablespoons, 3-1/2 pinches Coconut Pani Or Coconut Treacle
- 1/4 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 1 Tablespoon Sugar
- 4-1/2 ounces, weight Desiccated Coconut
- 1 Tablespoon Chocolate Candy (for Decorating)
- For the buns:
- Sift the flour. In a mixing bowl combine the flour, sugar, yeast and salt. Mix well about 1 minute. Pour in olive oil and water. Mix well. Now clean your dry working surface and knead by hand about 10 minutes.
- Cover the dough and let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes. After that, punch the dough down and make 15 round lemon-sized balls.
- Now take each ball and roll out with a rolling pin until you get a disk (3-inch diameter and 1/4-inch thick).
- To make the coconut filling, in a thick-bottomed pan, put coconut pani, cinnamon and sugar and bring to a boil (you need it to be around 100u0b0C degrees so use a thermometer). Then add the pani mixture to the desiccated coconut and mix well. Let cool.
- Now place about 1 tablespoon of sweet coconut mixture in the middle of each disk. Next shape the dough into a ball shape. Set aside about five minutes. Using sharp scissors, snip the round edges of the dough off to form petals to shape it like a flower (see photo).
- Now put the flower on top of oiled parchment paper or baking paper. Place flower buns in a steamer and steam over a pan of boiling water for about 10 minutes. When the flower buns are cooked, remove from the steamer and place on a dish.
- After that, you can decorate the flower buns. Just place chocolate candy in the center of flower buns. I've done this in the photo above.
- Serve warm.
- Enjoy.
