Hello everyone, hope you are having an incredible day today. Today, I gonna show you a way to make a special dish, Matcha Mantou (Steamed Buns). one of my favorites . This time, I will make it a little bit tasty. This is gonna smell and look deliciou

The Ingredients need to make Matcha Mantou (Steamed Buns):

1. Prepare 200 g of cake flour (or all purpose)
2. It’s 20 g of wheat starch (can replace with flour)
3. Prepare 1 tbs of matcha
4. It’s 35 g of sugar
5. Prepare 1/4 tsp of salt
6. It’s 140 g of warm milk or water (more or less depending on humidity)
7. Prepare 1 tsp of instant dry yeast (or active dry)
8. Prepare 1/2 tsp of baking powder (optional)

Step to make Matcha Mantou (Steamed Buns):

1. In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients (everything except milk) until well combined. If using active dry yeast, keep it separate.
2. Warm milk in a small saucepan over medium heat, constantly stirring until mixture becomes lukewarm. The milk should not be hotter than 40 degrees celsiu
3. Slowly pour in warm milk into dry ingredients, continuously stirring the misture until it forms a sticky dough. If using active dry yeast, let the yeast rest in the warm milk for about 5 minutes before pouring into the dry ingredient
4. Knead dough until it becomes smooth and does not stick to your hands (around 10-20 minutes). Leave it in the large bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel. Let the dough rest until it doubles in size (45-60 mins)
5. After the dough doubles in size, punch out the air and knead for about 5 minute Cover and let it rest for an additional 30 minute
6. Lightly dust your counter and dough with flour and roll it out into a large flat square/rectangle about 1/4 an inch thick. Swiss roll it up until it becomes a spiral log. Cut into 6-8 equal piece (You can also just roll the dough into a log and cut it into equal sized pieces D)
7. Lightly cover the dough pieces in plastic wrap and allow them to proof for around 20-30 minute (Important to get fluffy mantou!)
8. Boil water in a steamer over high heat and steam the proofed mantou for 5 minutes (make sure to cover lid with a towel to prevent water from dripping onto your mantou!).
9. Turn off the heat and let the mantou sit in your steamer for 5 minutes, without lifting the lid (the mantou may shrink if you skip this step). And thats it! Your steamed matcha buns are ready~ These are best served warm. Cover with plastic wrap or store in an airtight container while still warm to preserve moisture.
10. Notes - Steamer temperatures may vary. If your mantou turns out a bit wrinkly, try steaming it over medium heat for 10-15 minute - I noticed that replacing the water with milk resulted in slightly lighter mantou, but did not have the mild milky taste - Add more matcha powder if you prefer a stronger matcha taste! You can also try adding two tablespoons of cocoa powder~ - The mantou will expand in the steamer so make sure theyre not too close together c
