1 ½teaspoonyeast(if using envelope yeast, use 1 envelope & follow instructions on envelope)
¾cup(177ml)warm water or milk
¼cup(59ml)vegetable oil
⅓cup(67g)granulated sugar
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and yeast. Then mix in the vegetable oil.
Make a well in the middle and slowly pour in the warm water and mix until dough forms into a ball. If using a stand mixer, use the dough hook attachment to do all these steps (you won't have to make a well, just pour everything in).
Once the dough forms into a ball, begin kneading the dough for 15-20 minutes. If you have some anger you need to let out, this is the perfect thing to make. You can punch the dough and throw it around :)
After you're done kneading the dough, put it in a clean large bowl and cover it with a cloth towel. Set in a warm place to rise. About 3 hours.
After the dough has risen, form into medium sized balls and set each ball on a square baking paper (each ball has its own).
If you have the time, let the balls sit for 40 minutes to rise more, if not, 20 minutes is good enough.
Put the buns in a steamer and steam for about 20 minutes until they're puffy and cooked.
Notes
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days, in the fridge for 4 days, or in the freezer for 4 weeks. Reheat in the steamer for 2-3 minutes, or for 5-6 if frozen.
