Basic Dough for Chinese Buns 發麵

This is an essential Chinese dough, it is very used to make many of the Dim Sum, these small varied dishes that you can have as a starter or at any time with a good tea (brioches, ravioli, pâtés ...).

There is nothing complicated in this preparation. The total time required including mixing, kneading and resting is two and a half hours. Then you can wrap your filling and start cooking. Please pay attention to the temperature of the water used to rest the yeast: about 30°C (85°F). Also the baking powder must be first mixed with the flour, avoiding contact with other ingredients, particularly water.
