I am years late for this question yet your blog takes so long for me to absorb from a culinary and savoring POV. This is a GOOD thing :). Can I freeze the dough or buns and as far as the stuffed buns are concerned, at what point? I'd like to take some char sui bai camping with me. Always nice to have my eyes roll back in head whilst imbibing a Shanghai style noodle soup with pork buns under pine trees. Yes.

And, yes, knead with your hands--it just takes a while. Knead until perfectly smooth and it bounces back slowly and fills in the indentation when you poke a finger into the dough. Shape as for steamed buns and allow to rise, covered, on a baking sheet until they are doubled in size. Then, brush the tops with a mixture of a beaten egg, sugar and a bit of milk or water--about a teaspoon of milk or water and sugar per egg. Beat these together and brush the tops of the buns with the mixture before putting into a preheated 350 degree oven. Bake for 20 minutes. Yes, Ashley, you can use the dough for baked buns.

This recipe looks wonderfully detailed (which is great for a newbie like me!). I just have two questions: 1. Can I use this same dough recipe for baked baos? 2. For kneading the dough the first time, is it absolutely necessary to use a KitchenAid machine? Or can I use my hands instead? Hello!
