Rose Shaped Buns by Wendy

1. Make small dough balls of 15gm each.

2. Flatten each ball and roll out flat.

3. With fingers, press the sides of the circle to make them flatter and to create ripples (uneveness) .

4. Arrange 6 pieces of flattened dough, half stacking on top of each other.

5. Start rolling from the first piece on the bottom.

6. With a chopstick, saw the roll, it will roll while you saw, creating a fatter center than the sides. Eventually it will break into 2.

7. Place rose buds upright on a piece of paper.

8. Let buns rise to double and steam on high heat for 12 minutes.

*Tip : Flatten out enough dough balls for one round of steaming before flattening out the rest. Keep dough in fridge to prevent over proofing while you slowly form the rose buds. And keep the formed rose buds in the fridge(covered) to slow down the 2nd proofing while you shape. This method does take time to complete.

Have a nice day!
