How to Make Healthy Steamed Buns Mantou
- Activate yeast: In a large bowl, dissolve 2 teaspoons of active dry yeast in 1 cup (240ml) of warm water (105-115°F). Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Combine dry ingredients: Add 1 cup (120g) rolled oats, 1 cup (125g) whole wheat flour, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the yeast mixture.
- Gradually add water: Add 1/2 cup (120ml) of the remaining water and mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- Incorporate white flour: Gradually add 1 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour, mixing until a slightly sticky dough comes together.
- Knead and rise: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add more all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, if the dough is too sticky. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Shape the buns: Punch down the dough to release the air. Lightly flour your work surface. Roll the dough into a log about 12 inches long. Cut the log into 10 equal pieces.
- Form the buns: Roll each piece into a smooth ball. You can optionally create a dimpled top by pressing your thumb into the center of each bun.
- Steam the buns: Line a steamer basket with parchment paper. Arrange the buns in the steamer, leaving some space between them. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Place the steamer basket over the boiling water, ensuring the water does not touch the buns.
- Steam: Cover and steam on high heat for 10 minutes. Then, reduce heat to medium and continue steaming for another 10 minutes, or until the buns are cooked through and fluffy.
- Serve: Carefully remove the buns from the steamer and serve warm. Enjoy!
