Ingredients:  (Makes 12)
Ingredients:

250g plain flour
50g wholemeal flour
15g caster sugar
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 tsp instant dried yeast
1 egg
130g water
20g oil

squares of baking paper


  • In a mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine all the ingredients together, except oil.
  • Knead until it forms a slightly sticky soft dough.  Gradually add in oil.  Continue to knead until dough is smooth and leave the sides of the bowl.
  • Shape the dough  into a smooth ball and place in a greased  bowl.  Cover with  cling wrap.  Then place it in a warm and moist place to allow the dough to rise until doubled.
  • Punch down by pressing the dough out evenly with your hands to release the air.
  • Divide the dough into 12 equal portions.  Cover and set aside to rest for 10 minutes.
  • Flatten the dough and roll into an oval shape.  Brush with oil and fold into half.  Place the bun onto a square piece of baking paper.  Repeat with the rest of the dough.  Cover and proof until almost doubled.  
  • Steam mantou in medium-high heat for about 12 minutes.

    Wholemeal mantou seems to be more healthier. Taste absolutely delicious having some braised pork belly as part of the filling.
