Snoopy Steamed Bun aka Curry Potato Pau 史努比咖喱包

This is a simplified way to make character steamed buns using the good old method, draw the facial details instead of using coloured dough. I used food grade charcoal powder as natural food colouring, just dilute the powder in some water and draw on the buns. It takes only few minutes to draw the details. ;)

Recipe adapted from here.

Ingredients: Yield 6 buns

(A)

150g Plain Flour/ Hong Kong Pau Flour 中筋面粉／包粉 150克
(use Pau flour if you're new in making steamed bun, the success rate is higher 新手建议用包粉，面团比较容易操作)

1/2 tsp Instant Dry Yeast 即溶酵母 1/2小匙

20g Sugar 细砂糖 20克

(B)

85g Cold Milk 冷牛奶 85克

1 tsp Cooking Oil 油 1小匙

For drawing:

Charcoal Powder 黑炭粉，适量

Water 水，适量

6 tbsp Homemade Chicken & Potato Dry Curry 马铃薯鸡肉咖喱馅 6汤匙

Method: 步骤

1. Mix (A) in a bowl, stir in (B) to form a dough and continue to knead for 15 minutes or until the dough is glossy and smooth.
将所有材料搅拌成团，揉15分钟或至面团光滑有弹性。

2. When the dough is ready, transfer the dough onto table top. Portion out 6 x 40g dough, knead each individual dough into round shape, wrap in fillings. 
把揉好的面团先割出6份40克面团，每份搓圆，包入馅料。

3. Divide the remaining dough into 12 portions, roll into round shape. Make snoopy paws.

剩余的面团分割12份，每份搓圆，作史努比的脚。

4. Let it proof for about 50 minutes or doubled in size. Mix some charcoal powder with water, draw the facial details, steam on high for 15 minutes. When it's done, turn off heat, do not open the lid/ cover. Let the steamed buns rest in the steamer for 5 minutes before removing the buns from the steamer.

发酵50分钟或双倍大。黑碳粉加少许水，画上细节，放进蒸炉大火蒸15分钟。 蒸好后熄火，待5分钟才开盖把包子拿出。待凉后即可享用。若喜欢我的食谱，可以LIKE和追随我的面书专页，不要错过最新食谱发布。
