Mini yeast dumplings
Preparation
Heat the milk and place in a bowl with the yeast and three tablespoons of flour. Mix well. Then leave to rest for 10 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and knead to a smooth dough. Preheat the X BO steam oven to 40 degrees and 40 % humidity and place the dough in the oven for 30 minutes to allow it to rise. The dough should double in size. Place the dough on a floured work surface and divide into ten approx. 40 g lumps. Shape the pieces of dough into dumplings and return to the X BO to rise for another 15 minutes. Now preheat the X BO to 98 degrees and 100 % humidity. Place the yeast dumplings on the perforated stainless steel steamer tray ensuring that they are well spaced and steam for 15 minutes. Serve with vanilla sauce and fruit compote. Melted poppy or pistachio butter makes an ideal topping.
