   1                cup  Hot Water -- 175-200F
   1                cup  Unbleached White All-Purpose Flour
      1/2           tsp  Active Dry Yeast

Mantou bread is a traditional Chinese steamed bun with a cloud-like 
texture. In our version, oats lend the bread a little extra sweetness 
and texture. Delicious eaten dipped in sweetened, evaporated milk, 
with jam or fried! Note: to make this dish, you will need a steamer 
basket of some kind.

PREP: 10 minutes
COOK: 12 to 15 minutes
PASSIVE: 1 hour

Soak oats in hot water for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

While soaking the oats, sift together the dry ingredients, leaving a 
well in the middle.

Pour the oats and water into the well of dry ingredients. Combine and 
knead until incorporated.

Cover and allow the dough to rise for an hour, or until doubled in size.

Punch down the dough and roll out on a floured surface into a 1" 
thick rectangle. Roll up from one long end (similar to a cinnamon 
roll) and use a bench scraper to cut into 2" thick rolls.

Arrange your buns in a bamboo or steel steamer. You may need to steam 
them in two batches, depending on the size of your steamer.

Meanwhile, fill a wok or steamer pot with water and bring to a boil 
over high heat. Place steamer inside, making sure the water isn't 
touching buns. Cover with a lid and steam for 12 to 15 minutes, or 
until buns are fluffy and fully cooked.

Tilt the lid a tiny bit to let air slowly circulate for 2 to 3 
minutes before opening fully. If you open the lid right away, the 
fluffy buns will collapse.

Serve buns warm alongside sweetened condensed milk, or with jam!
