Ingrediënten
- 4 kopjes white bread flour
- 2 tsp instant gist
- 1 tsp suiker
- 1 tsp zout
- 2 el oil or melted butter
- ± 1½ kopjes cups lukewarm water
Instructies
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
- Voeg de olie of boter, then gradually add the lauw water, mixing to form a soft dough.
- Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 45–60 minutes).
- Grease a heatproof bowl or dish that fits inside a pot.
- Punch down the dough, shape it, and place it into the greased bowl.
- Bring water to a simmer in a large pot (water should not touch the bowl).
- Place the bowl inside, cover tightly, and steam for 40–45 minutes on low heat.
- Check doneness with a skewer — it should come out clean.
- Remove, cool slightly, and serve warm.
