INSTRUCTIONS
TO MAKE DOUGH: Dissolve 1/2 yeast cake with sugar in warm water. Immediately add baking powder and then the flour. The dough will be fairly firm and a bit on the dry side. Knead on board for 20 minutes (you should not need to flour the board) until dough becomes elastic and smooth. Place it in a big mixing bowl, (away from drafts) until dough doubles in bulk. (Every kitchen is different. Author's dough usually takes about 2 1/2 to 3 hours to double in her electric oven, which she slightly preheats to a warm setting for 2-3 minutes then turn off.) Now punch down dough and knead again for 5 more minutes. It is now ready to be s tuffed with fillings. COMMENTS: This is just a basic yeast dough with perhaps a bit more sugar added. For use frozen bread dough as a substitute. Yield: 2 doz. buns. Source: "Dim Sum" by Rhoda Fong Yee. Formatted for MM by Karen Adler FNGP13B.
