Mantou often referred to as Chinese steamed bun/bread is a type of steamed bread or bun originating in China. They are typically eaten as a staple in northern parts of China where wheat rather than rice is grown. They are made with milled wheat flour water and leavening agents. In size and texture they range from 4 cm soft and fluffy in the most elegant restaurants to over 15 cm firm and dense for the working man’s lunch.
