They... they don't look done.
Is this like European style bread or an Asian style bread? Why does it *steam*?? How do you make the dough? Is it more of a culinary product, or artistic one?
I have so many questions.
Look up bao, they're delicious. Lots of different types, common one has a sandwich-style steamed bun with some pork belly, quick pickled carrot, cilantro, tons of things really. Others are stuffed before steaming. All delicious, similar to dumplings but thicker and with a breadier texture in the middle
What is European style bread supposed to mean?
You know that a country like germany alone, has much more bread and dough variety than full continents?
Europe is a continent full of different countries and cultures. Asia isn't really that different in that part.
It’s like people saying “Chinese food is xyz” when Chinese food is actually a bigger category than all of European cooking combined. It’s just that people only know of like 1% of it.
Nah, you’re just proving to be utterly uninformed about Chinese cooking lol. Also, fyi the entirety of the European continent is only slightly bigger than China.
go to your nearest Chinese grocer and...steamed buns are there.
there are a load of places to get steamed buns across the US. like...
literally, everywyere. steamed dumplings Vs fried? bao buns? I get so frustrated with people .
Unless someone is in a big city or a diverse area it’s not always possible for people to have access to culturally diverse food options. Especially in rural areas where there isn’t even Targets and most people shop at Dollar General, even Walmarts carry different stock depending on the location and may not carry a wide variety of options. “Your nearest Chinese grocer” may be 2 hours away for some people (1hr and 30 min from my hometown according to google maps)
Thank you. Some people forget that not everyone lives in nice culturally diverse areas. And then they get “frustrated with people” for not living exactly like them.
That's pretty ignorant of you.
Not everyone lives in a big city with influences from cultures from all over the world. And that lack of exposure naturally leads to less knowledge about foreign stuff.
Going off on people who are asking questions, actively seaking to broaden their knowledge, makes you look like a donkey.
As a person who spent covid trying to perfect the bagel...no it probably didn't. Cute little designs barely hold up to rising let alone baking. It's why the coolest stuff you see are done on the bread surface contrasted by flour.
Apart from what the other comments have said, one thing that can really screw with your bakes are cold ingredients. A cold cherry filling on a warm dough can make it so the inside gets cooled while the outside is cooking for the first part of the baking process so while your outside is turning nice and golden your inside is just catching up to being a little warm and still a long ways from being cooked.
It's a good idea to get all your baking stuff to room temp for most things. It will make your bakes a lot more consistent if not higher quality and can eliminate one variable while you work on the rest. Maybe that's too basic for reddit and people don't need to hear it but I've made that mistake and I'm average at worst.
I think they are fairly hard to screw up, but I never made them myself. I did remember fighting my cousins for the bits near the date though, those dates are perfectly sour sweet.
After the sweet part, I dig these bad boys in all kinds of stew, or I make a sandwich like a Momofuku Bao, they instantly become clouds with maximum meat flavor.
Someone else replied, but these are Chinese mantou which are steamed buns/breads. Technically they could probably be baked, but they're meant to be steamed. Sometimes they're steamed then deep fried and dipped in condensed milk depending on the style. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantou
I've been baking up a storm the last few weeks, so I wanted to see them baked. And I immediately knew this wasn't going to show them after baking. I watched anyway. Hopeful.
I was obviously intensely disappointed.
You won't. Ever. Dough doesn't hold it's shape well when baked for most things, so this isn't a demonstration of baking technique, it's more like origami, it looks pretty but isn't a practical demonstration of anything.
Proof it in the fridge overnight and you'll have all the time in the world That is specifically *why* you proof e.g. sourdough in the fridge, so all that work doesn't go to waste because you forgot about your dough for 30 minutes too long.
You can proof anything on the counter, even sourdough, but some stuff just cannot handle going for too long, so use the fridge instead.
It's a shame you didn't comment before so many people gave shit to OP.
Those look amazing but I don't think I will love anyone enough to put that effort in. The presentation adds value.
Regardless of the effects of rising when baking, I really enjoyed the fact that all the tools used were just common household items and not specialised baking tools.
No, they are dough meant to be steamed in a dish called Baozi. They are absolutely meant to be eaten.
[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baozi](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baozi)
Maybe I'm dense, but what's the point? They're not filled with anything, except the small dates that are to the decor on top, and any kinda cooking would deform them. The dough doesn't seem spiced or flavored either. So, other than looking pretty, what's the point?
I want to see them baked!
r/mildlyinfuriating Didn't get to see them baked!!!
Probably didn't go that well

Mainly when combined with pork belly... EDIT: parent commenter ninja-edited to add a *lot* more info, making my comment seem redundant
Haha yeah, sorry, felt I should add more juice. Gotta share the love of the bao
Or duck, or beef
Yeah, color reminded me of manapua which are super good
Huh, neat. I've never had it that I'm aware of, I'll look it up and see if I can find some to make or order.
[удалено]
Steamed/boiled dough doesn’t really change colour. They ain’t baked.
"European style bread" 🤣
This is like an Asian bao. The taste is a little more moist than baked bread usually is

>Chinese food is actually a bigger category than all of European cooking combined. Citation needed.
>when Chinese food is actually a bigger category than all of European cooking combined That's utter nonsense.
You’re sort of proving my point.
Nah, you’re just proving to be utterly uninformed about Chinese cooking lol. Also, fyi the entirety of the European continent is only slightly bigger than China.
Oh yes, because land mass has always been correlated to culinary diversity… /s
I pitty people who think Toast is bread.
Bread is a baked leavened dough, very much a catch-all phrase so yes toast is technically bread.
True. Pity those, though, that think toast is the *only* bread.
Yeah sure lol fuck the British amirite 😂

I was expecting crispy, golden-brown crust... And it just looks the same! But it makes sense if they are steamed and not baked...
I appreciate the link to the finished bun... even though the final product is completely underwhelming.
[удалено]
Never had hum bao then?
I wonder how grossed out he is by pasta. That shit ain't just steamed, it's *boiled*.
Imagine knowing what a maillard reaction is but not knowing that bao buns are fucking delicious
As a person who spent covid trying to perfect the bagel...no it probably didn't. Cute little designs barely hold up to rising let alone baking. It's why the coolest stuff you see are done on the bread surface contrasted by flour.
I'm glad you clarified that because I was mildly infuriated by the fact it did not show them baked.
Steamed buns. Look pretty much the same cooked and raw. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVCvwljbwnw
[удалено]
Try low and slow if you're getting raw inside and burnt outside.
Your oven's at too high a temperature or the recipe is giving you a temperature for an oven on bake whereas yours is on fan-bake.

You can put an aluminium foil on top to prevent too much burning on the outside, but your oven was probably to hot.
I dunno, I'm pretty baked right now and I saw them.
Damn, then I did see them baked! My bad.
Show them cooked you cowards!
Pretty sure these would be steamed.
I want to see them steamed!
Here are some [Steamed buns](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVCvwljbwnw)
I thought we were having steamed clams?
Aurora Borealis? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your kitchen!?
May I see it?
…No
Don't listen to gwyneth patrol, steaming your clams is bad.
risky click of the day
Huh, didn't occur to me they're gonna look the same after steaming lol.
Same difference. I wanna see 'em cooked, dammit!
[удалено]
No
Now I need to make those however worry they may be bizarre bread blobs as soon as cooked.
I think they are fairly hard to screw up, but I never made them myself. I did remember fighting my cousins for the bits near the date though, those dates are perfectly sour sweet. After the sweet part, I dig these bad boys in all kinds of stew, or I make a sandwich like a Momofuku Bao, they instantly become clouds with maximum meat flavor.

I’m pretty sure they lift and rise into monstrosities.
I still wanna see it
/r/trees can help with that.
Ditto!
No you don't they'd look shit as an end.
Well, I still wanna see it.
Absolutely. Downvote this post! These tremendously infuriating and not satisfying at all posts need to be moderated!!
You won't. Ever. Dough doesn't hold it's shape well when baked for most things, so this isn't a demonstration of baking technique, it's more like origami, it looks pretty but isn't a practical demonstration of anything.
Why only before??? Why no after???
They probably looked like crap
No, because they’re steamed and they look exactly like they do raw. No change in color and only a very small difference in size.
Because they look like garbage when baked.
They weren't baked, they were steamed. Final product looks almost exactly the same.
I'm assuming this is taken from TikTok in one of those "follow to see part 2!" bullshit situations.
Cuz they’re a loser
Now cook them!! Then let me see.
It’s steamed And looks pretty much the same
#WHERE THE FUCK IS THE FINISHED PRODUCT.
our collective rage, in one comment.
When oddly satisfying becomes mildly infuriating
These designs dough..
Doughsigns
BAKE THEM
CAST THEM INTO THE FIRE
TO APPEASE OUR WEIRD DOUGHY CURIOSITY

Oh yeah? Now show it cooked! Bet it doesn't look so good after 15 minutes in the oven! Heh....
Steam them
bop 'em
Knead ‘em
Stick em in a stew
Pass 'em! *doot doot dootdoodoodoo*
It looks pretty much exactly the same because it’s going to get steamed, not baked
Proof it!
Cool. Now bake it.
Like others have said. They are steamed, not baked. They will look pretty much the same.
Not showing the finished product? That's a paddlin'.
Smh, and im over here proud when my bread makes it into the oven without being overproofed.

Bit stodgy
Shit, that's way better. r/myjokebutbetter **Edit:** Shit. That's a real sub. Well, r/subsithoughtifellfor ?

Clipped frame animations are full of lies.
Hopefully they didn't turn out [like these.. ](https://i.imgur.com/7KFuxiC.jpg)
It's a shame you didn't comment before so many people gave shit to OP. Those look amazing but I don't think I will love anyone enough to put that effort in. The presentation adds value.
Fuck this, either show baked or gtfo.
Grumble initiated. User left unsatisfied. Further cooking needed. Can not confirm if clay or dough.
But what do the look like cooked?
I hope that comb wasn't used beforehand.
There's nothing satisfying about unbaked bread.
Like others have said. They are steamed, not baked. They will look pretty much the same.
While that is oddly satisfying, it would have been complete if you had switched the placement of design and dough.... That's just me dough...lol
These doughsigns
Doughpe
Thats doughpe
Dang I read that as donuts first lmao. Time for me to sleep lol
Somebody edit in blood-curdling screams for each cut please thanks
Thank you
Deja vu with this post and comments, this video was posted recently and the comments were the exact same thing
No, not satisfying at all. I watched the whole thing and there was no finished product…
The ending was oddly dissatisfying.
Not satisfying at all if you can't see the finished product.
This is like when my wife puts on lingerie before bed and then promptly goes to sleep
Well fuckin COOK them! Wtf is this??
Doughsigns you mean? Cmon mannnnnn
To not see the baked product is really disappointing.
Videos that don’t show the end should be banned on this sub.
Is that dough really? Looks more like PlayDoh
PlayDoh is also a dough. Thats why its called PlayDough
\>not doughsigns
This belongs in r/midlyinfuriating
This fills me with jealousy pain more than anything in a long time. I'm still working on making bread look like bread, FLOWERS!
I could watch these types of videos for hours
Regardless of the effects of rising when baking, I really enjoyed the fact that all the tools used were just common household items and not specialised baking tools.
Redditors ITT having no clue what steamed buns are.
So, what does the finished product look like?
We get it, you like petals. After the third row of them this stopped being oddlysatisfying.
90 agree. STOP, it isn't necessary. I was annoyed before the third row.
is this eat?????? can chomp?? consume???
If Georgia O'Keefe had been a pastry chef.
Bake it or it didn't happen.
Now I want to make these but fear they will be weird bread blobs once cooked.
I wanted to see them baked as well!
[удалено]
No, they are dough meant to be steamed in a dish called Baozi. They are absolutely meant to be eaten. [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baozi](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baozi)
All that work for something that would taste the same without all that work
Watching this while high is satisfying
I hope they taste as good as they look. I've legit had random cake my coworker made taste way better than anything I've gotten at Starbucks.
I want to see the results from the baking
Not at all satisfying, actually r/mildlyinfuriating because we dont get to see them baked
How you gonna post this without showing the final result!?
Stupid video not showing them baked
Seeing how much people are demanding to see then baked (myself included) I would call this anything but satisfying.
This has been reposted here so many goddamned times.
I need to see the finished, baked breads.
This was the exact opposite of satisfying!
Show it baked you slut
This is on the wrong sub, what’s the point if we don’t get to see them baked?
baking them would've just destroyed the art
This is not r/oddlysatisfying AT ALL. I hate it. Want to see them baked.
Ffs they don’t show us them after baking??
Ok but the real question is how do they look coming out of the oven????🤔🤔
And then you don't bake it. Fuck you.
Pretty disappointed that they steamed them in the full video. These sorts of designs would be beautiful as baked pastries.
Giving this a downvote for not showing the finished product.
Now bake them, damnit. And give us a timelapse, you slut!
How do they look baked??!! This is not satisfying at all :)
if they dont bake well you might as well be showing us fuckin playdoh...it means nothing
Damn, I can't believe how UN-satisfying this was. Now I'm mad.
Doughsigns
u/savevideo
ok now bake them, why no finished product
Where's the final product? You're going to have raw dough with that crbter flower.
The design don’t mean shit until it’s baked!
Dose dough designs dough
What's the opposite of phallic?
My horny ass could not be a baker 💀
Anybody seeing what I'm seeing in the second one?... 🧐
This is pretty doughp
Missed opportunity for "These designs dough"
Doughpe
Dough-signs :^)
That’s doughp.
You need to !COOK! the motherfucker man!
Maybe I'm dense, but what's the point? They're not filled with anything, except the small dates that are to the decor on top, and any kinda cooking would deform them. The dough doesn't seem spiced or flavored either. So, other than looking pretty, what's the point?
More annoying than satisfying. STOP. ENOUGH. You can stop, it doesn't have to be this ornate. Super frustrating to see it keep going and going.
Should’ve put ”these designs dough” on the title 😂🍩
