Balikpapan Mantau (Steamed Buns)

Starter Dough (Sponge) :

• 150 g Medium-Protein Flour
• 3 g Instant Yeast
• 4 g Granulated Sugar
• 75 g Water

How to Make :

Sift the flour, then add yeast and sugar. Mix well, then pour in the water and knead until smooth. Place the dough in a covered bowl and let it rise for 30–45 minutes at room temperature.

Main Dough :

• 40 g Granulated Sugar
• 2 g Instant Yeast
• 1 g Bread Improver
• 1.2 g Salt
• 2 g Double-acting Baking Powder
• 50 g Medium-Protein Flour
• 20 g FILMA^® Pusaka White Baker’s Fat

How to Make :

Dissolve sugar and salt in water, then pour into the starter dough and mix well. Add baking powder, yeast, bread improver, and flour, then continue mixing until the dough becomes homogeneous. Add FILMA^® Pusaka White Baker’s Fat and knead again until smooth and elastic. Divide the dough into 30 g portions, flatten slightly, then shape into tight, round balls. Place each dough piece on a small square of paper and let rest for 30–40 minutes (do not overproof, as this can cause wrinkles after steaming). Steam for 10–12 minutes.
