Peanut sesame buns

Overview

Peanut sesame buns are fluffy, delicate, and sweet, and you won’t get tired of eating them.

Mix flour and yeast powder, slowly pour in warm water, and stir with chopsticks to form a fluffy consistency.
Knead the dough until the surface is smooth. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size.
Dip your index finger in flour and poke a hole in the middle. If the hole does not collapse or shrink back, or you can see that the inside of the dough has formed a honeycomb shape, it is ready to ferment.
Knead the fermented dough evenly until the surface is smooth, and cut into dough pieces of similar size. There will be no obvious air bubbles on the cut surface of the dough pieces.
Roll the small dough into a bun wrapper and fill it with peanut and sesame filling.
After wrapping the buns, place them on a steamer covered with a drawer cloth. There should be a gap in the middle, because they will grow bigger during steaming. Let the steamed buns rise for 20-30 minutes for the second time until the buns become larger and plumper.
Bring the water to a boil over high heat, steam over medium heat for 20 minutes, turn off the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes before uncovering the pot.
