Panini cinesi dolci

Ingredienti

• 3/4 tbsp. flour
• 4 tbsp. brown sugar powder
• 1 tbsp. roasted sesame seeds
• 300 g all-purpose flour (, around 2 cups)
• 2 tsp. instant yeast ( around 3g)
• 2 tbsp. sugar
• 150 ml water (, + 10ml more for adjusting )
• 1 tbsp. vegetable cooking oil
• a small pinch of salt

Preparazione

1. 1

   --- To make the filling ---

2. 2

   Mix brown sugar with flour and sesame seeds. Slightly crush to remove any bumps.

3. 3

   --- Dough ---

4. 4

   Add flour, salt, sugar, vegetable cooking oil and water in a large bowl. The dough should be kneaded for 8 to 10 minutes until very smooth in surface and becomes white (because we only knead once). Shape the dough into a long log and divide into 10 portions.

5. 5

   Place around 3/4 tablespoons of filling in center. Assemble the dough as triangle. Rest the buns in room temperature for 1 hour (20 degree C in room temperature) until they are 1.5 times in size and can recovery very quickly if you press the skin. In winter days, I love to place them in an oven with a plate of hot boiling water at the bottom. This can speed up the proofing in cold weather.

6. 6

   Set up the steamer with cold water and steam for 12 minutes. Then rest for another 5 minutes. Enjoy hot!
