We have had a <a href=\"http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/index.php\/2020\/09\/25\/i-knew-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">difficult start<\/a>, very&#8230; but I must say that I am impressed by its behavior for the past few weeks. I am keeping exactly the same regimen and treatments, keeping it in the fridge during the week and outside during the weekend to bake that I have always had. But now Lois is responding in a beautiful way&#8230; is it that spring is in the air? I can&#8217;t yet explain it and wish it will last&#8230; It doesn\u2019t starve in the fridge after 2 days (Lois is\/was a glutton), rather the contrary. And anytime I use it to bake it has a much better taste and smell and a faster process. It\u2019s making baking easy and very very enjoyable. So pleased that I decided to use it to make bao again. I filled them with what I had in the fridge: onions and smoked sausages. Chiba prefecture has quite a few pork farms and some make rather delicious sausages, that A. likes very very much so I always have some in the fridge, just in case. So here is the recipe of the bao.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Bao<\/strong> (makes 8 pieces)<\/p>\n\n\n<p>For the buns<\/p>\n\n\n<ul>\n  <li>200g of flour<\/li>\n  <li>50g of sourdough <\/li>\n  <li>A pinch of salt<\/li>\n  <li>Water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p>For the filling <\/p>\n\n\n<ul>\n  <li>1 onion<\/li>\n  <li>4 little (smoked) sausages<\/li>\n  <li>A large pinch of cinnamon <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p>First prepare the bun dough as it needs a few hours to raise. In a bowl mix the flower, the sourdough and the salt. Add water little by little while kneading to obtain a slightly wet dough. Soft and smooth. Leave to raise for some time (a few hours depending on your sourdough, room temperature&#8230;). It should raise and at least become elastic with an homogeneous texture. While it\u2019s raising, peel and chop the onion rather thinly. In a pan cook the onions at low heat, with a bit of water. They shouldn\u2019t change color much. Add a bit of salt and the cinnamon. Continue cooking under cover until very soft and tender. Add a bit of water if needed to avoid roasting them. Once cooked, let cool down.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Now your dough should have raised enough. Cut it in 8 equal pieces, and make 8 balls. Roll each of them a floured top into 15cm rounds. Split the onion in 4, and fill 4 of the dough rounds. Roll the 4 sausages each in a dough round and roll them. Let them rest for an hour our two.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2560\" height=\"2560\" src=\"http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/img_9877-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5119\" srcset=\"http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/img_9877-scaled.jpg 2560w, http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/img_9877-300x300.jpg 300w, http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/img_9877-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/img_9877-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/img_9877-768x768.jpg 768w, http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/img_9877-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/img_9877-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/img_9877-500x500.jpg 500w, http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/img_9877-1400x1400.jpg 1400w, http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/img_9877-600x600.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>Prepare a steamer and steam them for 15min.
