¼teaspoon Chinese five spice powder

1 ¼ cups plain flour

2 tablespoons caster sugar

2 teaspoons dried yeast

¼cup warm milk

¼cup lukewarm water

2.Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead for 5 minutes or until smooth. Use remaining oil to lightly grease a large bowl. Place dough in bowl and turn to coat in oil. Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm, draught-free place to prove for 30 minutes or until dough doubles in size.

4.Punch dough down with your fist, knead briefly on a lightly floured surface and cover with plastic wrap. Place in a warm draught-free area to prove for a further 30 minutes.

5.Use a round 7cm pastry cutter as a guide to cut six discs from non-stick baking paper. Shape dough into a 5 x 20cm log. Cut into six equal portions.

6.Flatten each dough portion. Place equal amounts of pork mixture on centre of dough and bring side of dough up to enclose. Roll into a ball. Place bun, seam- side down, on paper. Cut a small cross in top of each bun. Arrange buns on steamer rack.
