Delicious Chinese Bao Bun - A Gastronomic Experience

O Que Você Precisa Saber

- The 10-minute kneading develops the gluten, allowing the dough to retain gases and rise airy from the steam. - The 1-hour rest time ensures proper fermentation generating an airy crumb and soft spongy texture. - The sealed closure of the circles prevents the moisture of the filling from escaping, moistening the dough on the outside.

Chef Tips

- Cut small squares of parchment paper to accommodate each bun inside the steamer without sticking. - Let the buns rest for 15 minutes already shaped in the steamer before turning on the stove flame. - Do not open the steamer lid during the 15 minutes of cooking to avoid thermal shock and wilting the dough.

Variations

- Vegetarian Bao: replace the filling with shiitake mushrooms sautéed with Chinese cabbage and sliced carrots. - Sweet bun: fill the dough with sweetened red azuki bean paste or apple cinnamon jam. - Open bao (Gua Bao style): shape the dough into a folded semicircle and fill after steaming.

Substitutions

- A carne de porco moída pode ser substituída por peito de frango cozido desfiado ou carne moída bovina. - O fermento biológico seco pode ser substituído por 15 gramas de fermento biológico fresco dissolvido na água. - O açúcar branco da massa pode ser substituído por açúcar demerara ou açúcar cristal na mesma colher.

How to Store

Armazene os pãezinhos já cozidos e frios em recipiente hermético na geladeira por até 4 dias. Para consumir novamente, reaqueça na vaporera sobre água fervente por 4 minutos ou embrulhe em papel toalha úmido no micro-ondas.

Can You Freeze It?

You can freeze the steamed breads individually in airtight bags for up to 3 months. To reheat, take them straight from the freezer to the steamer over boiling water for 8 minutes until they are soft.

What to Serve With

Serve hot with hoisin sauce, aromatic chili oil with toasted sesame, and sweet and sour Japanese cucumber pickles. Harmonizes with traditional hot oolong tea or iced green tea with lemon slices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did the bao buns wilt and wrinkle when opening the steamer?

Opening the lid abruptly causes thermal shock; turn off the heat and wait 3 minutes before lifting the steamer lid.

Can I bake bao bread in a conventional oven?

Baking in the oven creates a golden and crispy crust typical of common bread; for the white and soft finish, steam it.

How to ensure the meat filling doesn't release too much water?

Sauté the meat until browned and all the liquid has evaporated from the pan before incorporating the soy sauce and filling the dough.

A massa precisa de descanso duplo nesta receita?

Sim, o primeiro descanso dobra o volume da massa e a segunda fermentação de 15 minutos modelada garante o miolo fofo.
