Chinese Steamed Buns Mantou

I lived in china back in the early 90's and these were a breakfast favorite dipped in sweetened condensed milk. i thought they were like the bread version of marshmallows! i found them again at a chinese restaurant this weekend, which sent will on a quest to find the recipe. i'm keeping it here at zaar so i never lose it. unfortunately, i'm not a low-carb diet right now. bummer!!

Steps

In a small bowl , sprinkle yeast and sugar over 4 tablespoons of the warm water and leave it for 15 minutes.
Place the flour in a bowl and make a well in the center.
Pour in the yeast mixture and the remaining water.
Mix everything to form a dough.
Turn it onto a floured board and knead until smooth.
Return dough to the bowl , cover and let it stand in a warm place for about an hour or until doubled in size.
Punch down , cover again and let it stand for 20 minutes longer.
Knead the dough again and shape into rolls.
Bring the water in the bottom of a steamer to a boil.
Place the rolls in the steamer , leaving a 1- inch gap between them.
Cook for 10 minutes or until firm and cooked through.
Serve them hot.
