1recipe Asian-Style Pork Ribs, cooled

1teaspoon active dry yeast

¼cup granulated sugar, divided

113 cups warm water (105–110°F), divided

3cups unbleached, all-purpose flour, plus more as needed

¼ teaspoon baking soda

1 tablespoon canola oil

1.Remove meat from ribs and shred well. Keep refrigerated until ready to use. If desired, reserve any juices from the ribs after baking to moisten meat before filling.

2.Mix yeast with a pinch of the sugar and stir into 13 cup of the warm water. Let stand 5 minutes until foamy.

3.In a large stainless steel bowl combine the flour, remaining sugar and the baking soda. Stir to mix and make a small well in the center.

4.Add the remaining water to the yeast mixture and slowly pour it into the flour, using one hand to pour while the other mixes the dough. If the dough appears too wet, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough starts to come together. Add the oil and use your hands to work the dough until well combined.
