I’m definitely somewhere on some spectrum because I originally heard this all in my head one night a while back like immediately after I started humming the perfect cell theme melody to myself at work. The idea is to have a full band playing it but I love using this for rough drafts and reference before I get to trying to record anything
This is my 3rd try using this recipe: https://omnivorescookbook.com/steamed-pork-buns/
I followed it almost exactly but found I needed to add quite a bit extra water to the flour I’m using, and I decided to try some baking powder to see if I’d get a fluffier result than I have been. I’ve made 3 batches of 6 buns so far and these last 3 I wrapped turned out the best by far.
Are you able to tell from the outer appearance of the dough alone if it needed anymore moisture, or if it was over/underkneaded? I think I used a bit too much yeast as well or maybe let it proof too long because even after cooling completely they’ve got a bit of a beer-ish smell to them, though the scent of the filling still cuts through. My pork filling could probably be a bit juicier as well but I think that’s a much simpler fix than figuring out how to get the dough just right.
