Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 10 g sugar
- 5 g yeast
- 100 g water
- 200 g plain flour
- 6 g oil
- Bean paste filling (store-bought or homemade using my recipe)
- Pink food dye powder for decoration (used to create the bunny's eyes, alternatively, red bean paste can be used to create the eyes.)
Instructions
- 1
In a bowl, combine sugar and yeast. Mix with 100g water until dissolved.
- 2
Pour the yeast water into 200g of flour. Add 6g of oil and blend until a cohesive mixture forms.
- 3
Shape and knead the dough into a smooth ball. This may take some time, so be patient and thorough with the process.
- 4
Divide the dough into 10 small portions.
- 5
Flatten each portion of dough into a slightly thick circular wrapper. Then, using a rolling pin, flatten each portion further until it forms a flat disc. Add a spoonful of bean paste filling to the center. Seal the edges and shape it into a round ball.
- 6
Mold each ball into an ellipse shape, then use a pair of scissors to cut out rabbit ears and a tail. Press the ears gently to create a pointed shape and round the edges to form a head.
- 7
Dust the dough with pink food dye powder to create the eyes and add a touch of color. Alternatively, dissolve pink food dye powder in water and use a chopstick to dot the eyes onto the dough.
- 8
Let the buns rest for 30 minutes to allow them to rise by 1.5 times.
- 9
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Once the water is boiling, place the buns in a steamer basket. Steam the buns for 10 minutes over medium-high heat.
