Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 250 grams
• Active dry yeast - 5 grams
• Sugar - 15 grams
• Warm water - 150 milliliters
• Salt - 5 grams
• Ground beef (Halal) - 200 grams
• Soy sauce - 15 milliliters
• Sesame oil - 5 milliliters
• Ginger (grated) - 5 grams
• Garlic (minced) - 2 cloves
• Spring onions (chopped) - 2 tablespoons
• Pepper - 1 gram
• Vegetable oil - for greasing

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 10 minutes until frothy.
2. In a larger bowl, mix the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture, and knead until a smooth dough forms. Cover and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
3. While the dough rises, prepare the filling by mixing the ground beef, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, spring onions, and pepper in a bowl. Set aside.
4. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a circle about 10 cm in diameter.
5. Place 1 tablespoon of the beef filling in the center of each dough circle. Gather the edges and pinch them together to seal the baozi.
6. Place the filled baozi on a greased steamer basket lined with parchment paper. Cover and let them rise for another 15 minutes.
7. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). After the baozi have risen, bake them in the oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
