INGREDIENTS

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
    • 2 tablespoons white sugar
    • 2 teaspoons baking powder
    • 🧂 ½ teaspoon salt

  • Wet Ingredients

    • 1 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
    • 💧 ¾ cup warm water (100 degrees F)
    • 3 tablespoons canola oil, divided

STEPS

1

Stir together yeast and warm water in a small bowl; let stand for 5 to 10 minutes. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of oil.

2

Pulse flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a food processor to combine. With machine running, pour yeast mixture through the feed tube. Process until a dough ball forms.

3

Turn the dough onto an unfloured counter to form a neat ball. If the dough is stiff, knead slightly with wet hands. Transfer to an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise for approximately 45 minutes.

4

Prepare 24 squares of parchment paper (3-inch each). Keep the remaining tablespoon of oil in a small bowl.

5

Roll half the dough into a rope (1 ½ inches thick, 14 inches long) and cut into 12 equal pieces. Repeat with the other half. Roll each piece into a thin oval, brush with oil, and fold to form buns.

6

Place buns on parchment squares, arrange on a steamer tray, leaving 3/4 inch of space between them. Cover loosely and let rise for another 20 to 30 minutes.

7

Bring a steamer pan or pot filled halfway with water to a rolling boil over high heat. Steam buns (2 trays at a time) for about 8 minutes until puffy and dry-looking.
