Strawberry Bao Dough with Matcha
Dehydrated Strawberry Bao Dough with Matcha Filling
The dessert bao in Laurence's flight: a pale pink steamed dough coloured with ground dehydrated strawberry powder, filled with matcha-flavoured cream or paste. Judges praised the progression of the flight, with this sweet finale feeling like a considered conclusion. Dehydrated strawberry powder gives a more intense and stable pink than fresh juice, which tends to grey under heat. Matcha's vegetal bitterness cuts through sweetness, making this a well-balanced dessert component home bakers can apply to other steamed or baked buns.
