Roll out the dough into a rectangle shape.
Roll it up into a swissroll shape.

Place mantou in steamer and start steaming from cold water with medium heat. Once water starts to boil, turn down to low medium heat and steam for 5 fo 7 minutes. (timing may vary depending on heat applied).

Once done, remove from steamer and ensure water does not drip onto the mantou..
