Steamed 'Bun'ny and Porcupines!





Chinese steamed bun or (Man Tou) is the easiest to make, either you can add some fillings or just plain. But making them into these cute babies, that takes a little longer! But my daughter and I just had lots of fun snipped up those porcupine with a scissors. Yes, scissors will just do the tricks!
Unlike bread, Man Tau do not need to rise twice.

1. Place water, yeast, sugar, oil into TM bowl, mix 30s 37C at speed3
2. Add flour, salt. Knead 3min
3. Shape dough into oval for skinny bunny or round for well fed ones, use a sharp scissor to snip from the head onward. Add black sesame seeds for the eyes.  n let rise for 30min in warm place,
4. Steam for 20min Veroma speed1.
