16 servings

  • 3.3333332538605 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup white sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
  • 1 cup lukewarm water
  • 0.25 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, or as needed

Instructions

  • Mix flour, sugar, salt, and yeast together in a large bowl. Add water and 1/4 cup oil; mix into a dough. Knead until smooth and elastic, at least 10 minutes. Dust with extra flour if necessary.
  • Warm up the oven for 1 minute. Turn oven off.
  • Oil a large bowl; place dough inside and cover with cheesecloth. Place in the warmed oven until size has doubled, about 1 hour.
  • Punch down dough. Keep in the oven until risen, at least 15 minutes more. Knead dough onto a flat work surface and divide into 12 golf-sized balls. Roll out each ball and fill with choice of filling (see footnote for my chicken and pork filling). Gather and twist the edges together to secure the filling.
  • Place each siopao on a 3x3-inch piece of wax paper.
  • Place siopao in a steamer and steam for 30 minutes.
