Steamed Scallion Rolls(葱油花卷)

Ingredients

All purpose flour - 5.5 to 6 cups
Milk - 1 cup
Warm water - 1 cup
Active dry yeast - 2 tsp
Sugar - 1 TBSP
Green onion - 3 stalks, finely chopped
Olive Oil - 2 TBSP
Salt - 2 tsp

Steps

1. Add milk, warm water, yeast and sugar to bread machine, then add flour. Turn on Dough cycle to let it complete the whole cycle.
2. Divide the dough in halves. Use rolling pin to roll out into rectangular sheet, about 1/4 inch thick. Drizzle 1 tbsp oil, then scatter salt and green onion evenly over the top. Roll tightly to form a log and cut every 2 inch. Put a chopstick over the center and press down. Then rotate the dough by 90 degrees, place it over the chopstick and pinch both ends together. Put it on the counter surface and press the chopstick down to tightly seal the bottom. Remove the chopstick.

3. Place rolls inside a steamer lined with cheese cloth, and let them sit covered for 30 minutes or until volume increases by 50%. Place the steamer pot on high heat. Bring water to a boil, then steam the rolls for 8 minutes. Remove from heat and stand for 3 more minutes before opening the lid.
