The ingredients for Baozi Dough are:

2 cup Flour - Gold medal all purpose flour
6 tsp Granulated Sugar
1 tsp Active Dry Yeast (by GRTMOMX3)
.75 tsp Baking Powder
1 tbsp Canola Oil
1.1 cup (8 fl oz) Water, tap

Here is how you make Baozi Dough:

1. Sift flour, sugar, yeast, and baking powder together in a bowl. Add oil and warm water and loosely combine. Turn the dough out onto your work surface and form the dough into a ball. Knead until the dough is elastic and shiny. 2. Put the ball of dough in an oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let the dough rest in a dark warm place until it has risen to double its initial size (at least 70 minutes).3. While the dough is rising, prepare your filling ingredients.4. Punch down the dough and roll it into a log. Portion the dough into 8 pieces and form each into a ball. Set aside on a baking sheet and cover with a damp kitchen towel. Let it rest for 15 minutes. 5. Working with one at a time, flatten or roll each dough into a 12 cm circle. Thin out the edges. Add filling.6. Wrap the filling by pinching one edge of the dough and bringing it up and gathering in the center. Turn over on parchment squares so smooth side is up. Repeat with remaining pieces of dough. You can also wrap the baozi using a bowl and the pleating method. Place the flattened dough into a small bowl, fill with sauce, cheese and pepperoni, fold pleats and pull towards center. Pinch the pleats together and twist off excess dough, place pleat side up on a parchment square. 7. Cover the finished buns with the damp kitchen towel and let it rest for another 10 minutes. 8. Prepare your steamer. Place a few buns into the steamer basket, do not overcrowd because the buns will expand. Once the water is boiling, place your steamer on top, cover with a damp kitchen towel and lid. The kitchen towel helps trap the steam that condenses on the lid without dripping on to the buns. Steam for at least 15 minutes.9. Enjoy hot and right out of the steamer! Serving Size: About 8 baoNumber of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user MILITANT-WHALES.
