I won’t say it’s a recipe to copy, but it got the job done.
Pb sd dog treats
I used a cup of very wet starter (thin because I wanted to see the bubbles!), and mixed in a cup of AP flour.
After sitting for twenty minutes in a cold kitchen, I added about 1/4 C pb. I then began kneading by hand. I didn’t need more water.
After half an hour, I preheated the oven to 375*, and pulled off small pieces of dough. I squished them flat, and put them on a lightly sprayed pan… because it just now occurred to me that parchment paper would’ve worked. After the preheat, I baked for 15 minutes. The bottoms are a golden color. I thought 15 minutes might be too long, but it was okay. They puffed up nicely considering the short rest times, and now the dog will be hounding (get it? He’s a hound!) me for all of the treats.

I take it back! If I get a jar of pb again, I’m making these bigger for me! I tried one, and I can imagine cutting one (bigger) open, and spreading preserves on it. They are good!

Steamed buns.
Made another of my moms' recipes. These are often called Chinese steamed buns, or Mantou,,
Her recipe. Makes about 12 buns. I used metric measurements because easy to weigh out on my kitchen scale. Plus spoon size.

Ingredients.
250 g Flour. (all-purpose)
200 ml milk.
25 g butter. (about ¼ stick)
1 whole egg.
1½ tsp Yeast.
1 tsp sugar.
½ tsp salt

Procedure.
Proof yeast in warm milk. 110°F
Melt butter, let cool to about 90°F so it
does not cook egg on contact when mixing.
add egg and mix all well.
Add remaining dry ingredients, and mix well.
I used stand mixer to knead well until smooth.
Judge your dough to be consistency/firmness as for bread/buns
First rise, ½ to 1 hour until doubled.
Deflate,, roll out on board about 3/4 inch, and cut out with a Cup/Glass/cookie cutter,,,, 12 circles.
Set them for second rise, (covered with kitchen towel) of about ½ hour.

Prepare your steamer. I used one large pot, then a grease spatter screen,, and another pot as cover. About 1 inch of water on bottom works OK. Bring to boil, and then place your dough buns on the screen. Cover with top pot. My timing on steaming was 8 minutes. View attachment 3041911
After 8 minutes, I removed top and used toothpick to check for done.
Check to make sure you have sufficient water left for next batch.

View attachment 3041915
Then of course I ate it... OH, first one I offered to DW.

Note;; this same recipe can be baked in oven for some fantastic buns,, Only difference,, Oven produces Brunettes, Steam produces Blondes.

the look so good!

Thanks for the recipe!

Not to be rude, but are you sure? My Brother bought this bento box in Japan while he was there.

There is a second layer, but I didn’t use it.

Jared the ones I had in Japan had dividers.

I was not putting your box down or anything.

I just made a comment.

Oh I see what you mean. I don’t feel that way. I was just commenting myself.

I actually think I have those dividers somewhere.
