Probably not as long as the Asian breads. If you are looking for super soft & fluffy versions, probably will be those overnight dough with ammoina in it. I have opt not to use ammonia, so you will have to search for other better recipes, good luck!Honey Bee Sweetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07611185580466977913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452934552254010109.post-74331717337727856132010-11-02T20:10:58.400+08:002010-11-02T20:10:58.400+08:00Hi, I tried this recipe today and the result was n...Hi, I tried this recipe today and the result was not bad. My baos even "smiled" very nicely. <br /><br />However, it's not AS fluffy as I would like it to be. So my question is, during the kneading process - how long do you knead? You said knead until it becomes a soft dough; do you merely just knead it enough to get a smooth ball or do you knead longer until smooth and elastic (like making Asian breads)?<br /><br />Thanks!WHnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452934552254010109.post-58228125554964725212010-03-22T09:37:47.986+08:002010-03-22T09:37:47.986+08:00Hi Ms Chan,

Because it tends to dry up and it will not open up/crack at the top as much when steamed. :) Looking forward to your post!Honey Bee Sweetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07611185580466977913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452934552254010109.post-83870110863831773262009-08-22T11:15:27.152+08:002009-08-22T11:15:27.152+08:00Thanks for sharing your Char Siew Bao recipe!
