nvm...so we jz follow as is it...we plan to make vege pau n red bean pau n pandan lotus pau...
so here the result:-

later on when i back home, i do some recipe searching online....n i found out tat the shortening is not needed tat much....no wonder the pau a bit oily...haha~

after a few days, i try to make the pau myself at home follow the recipe i found online....
actually i mix a few recipe online to make tis ....
so here the recipe...

Ingredients:
500g pau flour, sifted (i use blue key brand)
6g instant yeast
100g sugar
50g shortening
240ml water

Filling :- vege(my mom make it), red bean and pandan lotus paste(buy the ready made)

Method:
1. Mix instant yeast and sugar in the water till dissolved.
2. Then mix everything together and knead into smooth and elastic dough.
3. Divide the dough into 50-60g dough. Put aside and let it prove until double its size(around 10minutes).
4. Roll dough into a round shape and add 1 tbsp of filling and pleat the top into a pau. Line pau with a piece of white paper(pau paper) and let it prove again for another 20 minutes.
5. Steam pau for about 15 minutes.

p/s:- to have a whiter pau, put so vinegar in the steam water...

I always thought make pau is harder than bake a cake...but after i try it out...i think is simple then bake a cake...so simple...
Hope u all can try it out...
Have a nice day!
