Christian,
Bread flour is not a good option for steamed buns.

Beatrice,
Your dough needs more kneading!!

My lap cheung buns after steaming, the surface turned out very wrinkled and deflated. The bun texture is ok not dense.
Could you tell me what did I do wrong?

Climate might be a problem, but the more possible reason is your flour. The protein content is too high. You can read the label on the package. More protein content need more water. No struggling, just add more water to make the dough properly soft.

I made this recipe twice and both times my daughter asks me to make more before she even finishes them!

But both times the dough with 2 cups of flour always is too dry and I end up adding more water gradually while kneading, about 1/4 cup more. On my third time, I used 1.5 cups of flour and still had to add about 2 TBS of water. Is that normal or am I doing something wrong? Im in SoCal if that matters, its a dryer climate. Thank you!!

Ture, Natalie! Homemade food is always satisfying.

This recipe is legit. I don’t need to go to my local gas station or 7-11 to get my lop cheung.

Wash your Lop Cheung with warm water at least 2 times.
