Brown Sugar Mantou (黑糖饅頭) are soft, fluffy Chinese steamed buns made with a dough that incorporates brown sugar, giving them a subtle caramel-like sweetness. They are light and airy, with a slightly rich flavor compared to traditional plain mantou, making them a perfect treat or breakfast option.
Ingredients for 8 buns:
- 240g cake flour
- 20g brown sugar
- 4g instant dry yeast
- 120g water
- 30g brown sugar (for filling)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Dough:
- In a bowl, combine all the ingredients using a spoon or spatula.
- Knead the dough for 10-12 minutes until smooth, making sure to remove as many air bubbles as possible.
- Cover with a napkin and let it rest for 1 to 1.5 hours.
2. Shape the Buns:
- After the dough has rested, deflate it.
- Knead it briefly, then roll it into a rectangular shape.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the dough.
- Roll the dough into a log shape.
- Divide the log into 8 equal portions.
- Place the buns on a piece of parchment paper.
- Let the buns rest for 30 minutes.
3. Steaming:
- Prepare a pot of water for steaming and bring it to a rolling boil.
- Place the buns in the steamer and steam over high heat for 12 minutes.
- Remove from the steamer and serve warm.
