Soft & Fluffy Steamed Wheat Buns

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (maida)
• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 tbsp milk powder
• 1 tbsp oil
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup lukewarm water
• 1 tsp yeast
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1/4 cup water (or as needed to knead a soft dough)
• 8 –10 raisins
• 1 tsp black sesame seeds

Steps

1. Take Lukewarm water, add yeast and sugar. Mix well, cover, and let it rest for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, milk powder, and salt. Mix well. Add the activated yeast mixture and start kneading. Add additional water if required to form a soft dough. Add oil at the end and knead thoroughly until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. Cover and let it proof for 10 minutes.
3. Once the dough has proofed, knead it again gently. Divide into two equal portions and shape them into smooth balls. Place them in a greased bowl, cover, and let them rest for another 5 minutes. Meanwhile, heat water in a steamer. Brush the proofed dough balls lightly with water. Sprinkle raisins and black sesame seeds on top. Place the bowl in the steamer and steam.
4. Steam for 15–17 minutes, or until the buns rise and double in size. Remove and let them cool slightly.Spread some butter on warm buns and enjoy with a hot cup of tea, pure comfort and deliciousness! ☕✨
