Chinese bread, do you want it cooked or fried?

Preparation

1. Dissolve the yeast in lukewarm milk and put the flour in a bowl mixed with the salt and sugar. Add the milk with the yeast already dissolved and knead well. You should have a soft and slightly sticky dough. Stretch and stretch again until you get that texture.

2. Once you have it, let it rise for an hour in the form of a ball.

3. After this time, on the kitchen counter, put a little flour. Place the ball of dough and form a roll with it to create the shape of the Chinese bread, as if it were a spiral (or a croissant). Cut into 6-8 equal portions. Let each of the buns rise again for an hour, covering them with a cotton kitchen towel.

4. You can take this type of bread either cold or cooked. If you are going to make them cooked or steamed, in a pot with water, place a rack or a steamer on it. Put the bread on the grate, and when the water starts to boil, lower the heat and set it to a minimum temperature. Cover and do not let the buns touch the water. They will need 30 minutes to be cooked.

5. If you are going to make them fried, put a large amount of sunflower oil in a pan and fry each of the buns until they are golden. Then drain them with absorbent paper and they will be ready to eat.
