Pao (Mantou) Choc
This was done out of a great demand from my little boy. We normally buy the frozen ones off the supermarket shelves. But when I have the mood I'll make them myself... and here it is....
Again, honestly I really don't know what's the right measurement but only feel the texture... So whatever I've given here, they're all agak-agak only...hahhahah... try it if you dare...ekkekeekkeke...
Ingredients: For the white layer: 500 gm all purpose flour/HongKong flour/Pao flour/High Protein flour 11gm yeast 1 cup of lukewarm water 2 tbsp shortening/corn oil/softened butter 2 tbsp brown sugar/sugar 1 cup of milk/fresh milk
For the chocolate filling: 2 tbsp cocoa powder 5 tbsp all purpose flour 1/4 cup of milk a little corn oil
The method: In a small bowl pour water and yeast. Wait till it become frothy. Mix the flour, yeast, sugar, and a little salt in a large bowl. Then dig a hole in the middle, pour in oil/butter/shortening, milk, and yeast (scoop only the froth on the top layer) Form a dough. Knead for a little while, rest it in the large bowl. Wait till it rise to triple of its size. The dough should be soft in texture but not soggy.
While waiting you can start with the choc filling. Just mix everything together. It'll form a soggy dough.
There is no fix time in waiting, as soon as the dough grows triple of its size, then you can start work already. Punch the dough to let the air out, dust the worktable with a little flour. Start kneading the dough again. Divide dough into 4 portions.
Roll out dough with a roller. Roll out in a rectangular shape. Lay a little of the choc dough on top from top to bottom. Then "gulung" the dough. Cut according to your own size. Let it rest, wait till it rises 3 times of the pao. Steam it on high heat 20 mins... emmmm...taste awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
