350 gm pau flour sifted together with 1 tsp double action baking powder
Mix together - 180 ml lukewarm water, 40 gm caster sugar and 1/4 tsp vinegar **
1 tsp instant yeast
1 tbsp shortening （我用canola oil）
100 gm mashed purple sweet potato （我用黄番薯）
Method:
- Combine all the ingredients [except shortening] in a mixing bowl. Knead until soft [about 5-10 minutes]. Then add in the shortening, continue to knead until soft, smooth and elastic. Add in sesame seeds and knead until well combined.
- Shape into a ball and cover to rest for about 20-30 minutes or until double in size.
- Punch down dough and remove dough to a floured surface, divide into 2 round balls. Then divide each ball into 8 equal portions. Shape each into a ball, then roll into flat circle.
- Wrap filling with each flatten dough. Gather the edges and shape into pleated paus or round balls. Place on parchment or greased proof paper in the steaming tray.
- Leave to prove for 15 - 20 minutes or until double in size.
- Steam over high heat for 10-12 minutes in a steamer. Off heat and leave paus for a further 3 minutes before uncovering to cool on rack. This is to prevent wrinkle, rough skin [sometimes they may be a little wrinkle - probably because of proofing time but the texture is unaffected].
