Recipe's preparation

  1. Place 360 grams flour, 20 grams milk powder, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp yeast, 35 grams sugar, 35 grams olive oil and 200 grams water into the bowl.
  2. Combine 15 seconds speed 3
  3. Knead for 5 minutes or until smooth, adding extra flour a tablespoon at a time if the dough seems too sticky
  4. Wrap the dough in the Thermomix® Baking Mat and rest in a warm place for 90 minutes or until doubled in size.
  5. Once risen, transfer the dough to a work surface and dust with flour. ‘Punch down’ the dough to remove as many air bubbles as possible.
  6. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out to 1cm thick. Dip your fingers in some olive oil and lightly spread the oil over the surface of the dough.
  7. Use an 8cm diameter pastry cutter (or a plastic cup of the same diameter) to cut out rounds. Remove the excess dough.
  8. Fold rounds in half and flatten slightly with the rolling pin.
    Place directly onto varoma tray and into varoma dish. Evenly spaced with room for buns to rise. Place excess buns on a plate.
  9. Repeat with remaining dough (excess dough can be re-rolled and used). Cover the folded rounds with Varoma lid (or clean tea towel) and set aside to prove for an additional 15-30 minutes.
  10. Add 500g water to bowl. Place varoma onto lid of Thermomix bowl and steam buns for 22 minutes/varoma/speed 1.
  11. Allow the buns to rest in the varoma over the hot water for 5 minutes or in Thermomix® Server.
    Repeat with any remaining buns.
  12. Buns can be made up to a day in advance and steamed to re-heat before serving.

Thermomix Model

  • Appliance TM 6 image
    Recipe is created for
    TM 6
    For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

    TM 5
    If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
    For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.
    Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!
