MANTOU / BAOZI / STEAMED BUN DOUGH I
This dough can be used to make Chinese steamed buns, called mantou, or filled buns, called baozi. These fluffy, chewy, warm and unusual breads are common breakfasts, sides and meals in much of China. They are especially popular in Shanghai (Baozi) and Beijing (Mantou), where window-stall and small shop vendors sell them. Because this is the less unhealthy version with some whole wheat substitutions, they can be finicky based on dampness and temperature -- I fnd adjusting down the amount of flour is the best bet. These are fantastic piping hot, or with any of my three filling recipes!

Steps:
- Mix the yeast and flours in a large bowl.
- Dissolve the sugar and add the peanut oil in the water.
- Add to the flour bowl and mix thoroughly.
- Knead dough until it becomes a consistent ball, adding milk or more flour as needed (I usually end up using a tad more than 1/2 cup of milk).
- Cover dough in a bowl and allow to rest 10 - 15 minutes.
- Remove dough, pound it down, and re-knead until it forms a fully elastic dough ball.
- Place ball in a greased, covered bowl and allow to rise for 40 minutes to 1 hour, until doubled or tripled in bulk.
- Divide into 16-24 small dough balls, or roll out into one large flat rectangle on a floured surface.
- Flatted dough balls with a rolling pin, OR measure 3 - 5 inch rounds out of the pressed rectangle.
- Fill each flat round with roughly 2 tbs of the filling of your choice in the center. Pull the dough on all sides from the corners up to the top, and 'twist' to close.
- Steam filled buns (baozi) for 15 - 25 minutes over high heat.
- NOTE: Plain buns, or mantou, can be obtained by simply omitting the filling.

MANTOU / BAOZI / STEAMED BUN DOUGH II
This is a basic dough for steamed buns (mantou) or steamed filled buns (baozi). These fluffier, white buns are more similar to the ones sold by street vendors in China, but less healthy than the whole wheat version above. These buns are a popular breakfast meal or dinner side, and are filled with an astonishing variety of things, or baked with an amazing number of flour substitions, from corn to buckwheat.

- If you use a stand mixer: Mix all ingredients, except for the liquid in a mixing bowl. Use a dough hook attachment. Turn on the mixer on medium speed and gradually add the liquid, start with the lowest amount of liquid and then add as necessary until a dough is formed. Don’t dump all the liquid all at once. You can stop kneading when the dough is no longer sticky
- It's important to rest the dough after all the kneading. This is to relax the gluten. Cover and rest the dough for at least 15 minutes. The dough will be very soft and flexible after that
- For fold-over steamed buns: Lightly dust your work surface with a bit of all-purpose flour. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Keep them covered and work with one dough at a time. Roll into a round ball. Flatten with your palm and then use a rolling pin to roll it into an oval shape. Fold the dough over and place it on a parchment paper. Repeat with the rest
