Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp matcha powder
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp instant yeast
1/2 cup warm milk
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup Nutella
Instructions
In a bowl, mix flour, matcha powder, sugar, yeast, and salt.
Add warm milk and vegetable oil, then knead into a smooth dough.
Cover and let the dough rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and divide into small portions.
Flatten each portion and place a small spoon of Nutella in the center, then seal and shape into a ball.
Place buns on parchment paper and let them rest for 15 minutes.
Steam the buns over medium heat for 12–15 minutes.
Turn off heat and let buns sit in the steamer for 5 minutes before removing.
Notes
Do not open the steamer immediately to prevent buns from collapsing.
You can substitute Nutella with any chocolate spread or red bean paste.
Store leftovers in an airtight container and re-steam before serving.
