- When the dough rises to twice its original volume, press it down gently to remove any air bubbles. Divide into two portions..
- Shape it into thin, long ovals. Fold in the top and bottom into thirds. Tip: Don’t press it down too much..
- Fold the dough in half and close the ends by squeezing with your fingers. Tip: Try to avoid any air getting trapped..
- With the closed end facing down, roll it around until it’s as long as your baking tray. Place it on a sheet of parchment paper..
- Microwave for 30 seconds at 200W. Cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise using the bread-rising setting of your oven or cover with plastic wrap and set it aside in a 35℃ warm place for 15 minutes..
- When it rises, grease a knife or a razor’s blade to make deep, vertical cuts to support the slices and the raising of the buns. Preheat oven to 250℃..
- Spray the dough with water 10 times and steam in the oven for 10 minutes at 230℃. Flip the baking tray around to avoid uneven baking, and bake for another 10 to 20 minutes at 200℃..
