MILKY MANTOU (鮮奶饅頭)




 http://chia-lishen.blogspot.com/2009/07/milky-mantou-bread-maker-recipe.htmlThe original recipe is from  周老師的美食教室 in traditional Chinese. http://blog.yam.com/homeeconomics/article/1670381




This is the original ingredients list. I use half the recipe to do the baking.


Original recipe:
milk......................150g               
oil........................1 Tbsp          
sugar ...................3 Tbsp          
plain flour ............300g              


yeast....................1/2 Tbsp    
    

Some flour for kneading


Instruction:
1. Put yeast, sugar, flour, milk and oil in the bread maker in order.
    [I put in order into the pan :

           milk
           oil
           sugar
           flour
           yeast ]    

2. Select "dough" menu. My bread maker takes 2.30 hrs for dough function.
    [I use only the knead function of the breadmaker. Once the knead finishes, i remove the pan from the pan and continued to knead for another 15 mins or so]










3.  I then put the dough into a bowl into the cold oven, to proof for about 40 mins. Around the bowl, i put 4 cups of just boiled water to steam up the oven.












4. After 40 mins, I punch down the dough, then put it back into the oven to proof for another 20 mins.


5. This is how the dough then looks like. Look at the dent when the finger is pressed in.





6) Divide the dough into even halves.
7) Roll them out into a flat, thin rectangular shape.
8) Place the other dough onto another.
5)Roll up the dough as shown in the picture.








                                                                          (diagram from liria's blog)                                                                  


6)Use knife to cut up into pieces.  
Put the two end bits together, just roll up as a round-shaped mantou.              





7)Your mantou should have the spiral layers on both sides.
  

4. Before steaming. Leave the mantous at a warm place for 40 minutes to raise. (I leave them in oven at very low heat.)




5. Use cold water to start steaming, each mantou should takes about 7-8 minutes to steam. Line a piece of baking paper under each mantou to stop it from sticking onto the steamer.



6. Place the steamed mantou on a dry, clean tea towel. Eat fresh
