Ingredients

  • 2 cups of rice flour

  2. In a mixing bowl, add rice flour, salt, and oil. Mix it well.
  3. Slowly add the yeast mixture and plant-based milk to the flour mixture. Mix it well to form a soft dough.

  5. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest in a warm place for 1 hour until it doubles in size.
  6. Punch the dough down and knead it for another 5 minutes.
  7. Divide the dough into 8-10 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball.

Notes

  • If the dough is too dry, add a little more warm water or milk until the desired consistency is achieved.
  • Make sure to cover the dough with a damp cloth while it is resting to prevent it from drying out.
  • These buns can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Recipe Tips

  • Use warm water to activate the yeast. If the water is too hot, it will kill the yeast, and if it is too cold, it will not activate the yeast.
  • Kneading the dough is essential to create a smooth and elastic texture. It helps to activate the gluten in the flour.
  • Make sure to let the dough rest and rise for at least an hour to allow the yeast to do its job and create a fluffy texture.
  • When steaming the buns, make sure not to overcrowd the steamer basket, as it will prevent the buns from cooking evenly.
  • These buns can be frozen for up to a month. To reheat, steam them for 5-7 minutes until heated through.
