Cantonese Bread

Hi everyone.

I'm looking for the Cantonese Bread formula, the one from the old kong-fu movies. Look like small white ball.

I'm sure he content rice flour but that's the only thing.

 

Thanks for the answers. Ron

I haven't seen any old Kung-fu movies so I am not sure what type of bread you're talking about.  Would it be the steamed buns like char siu bao and/or flower rolls?  These are made of wheat flour, not rice flour though.  Ive heard you could make bread using a mix of 50/50 wheat and rice flour but I have never tried that myself.

Gothicgirl had it all together, the recipe for char siu bao.  If you don't want the fillings, you can just use the dough recipe to make steamed buns.  Cheers!
