Sau Pao

Ingredients (for the bun)

Plain flour 160g

Sugar 30g

Baking powder 2g

Yeast 2g

Water 80g

Ingredients (for filling):

Sweet lotus paste and red coloring in appropriate amount

[windydepression]

Procedures:

Mix bun ingredients together until smooth

Cut the mixture into 8 portions, then well I guess u have to make it Sau Pao looking with the filling inside

Spray a little bit of water on top of the buns, and then put into a container so that it can yeast up to be doubled in size

Color the buns in red and then steam them

[windydepression]

This is what I found and I havent tried it actually so not sure how it will work out... but anywayz heres the translation hope it works~!

[windydepression]

actually just realised the red colouring isnt for the filling... its for the outside of the bun~ sorry!
