It only takes "4 simple steps" to make steamed buns, and Xiao Bai can easily get started. The steamed buns are soft and delicious.

Most areas in the north mainly rely on pasta, and steamed buns are one of the staple foods in the morning and evening. To make soft and delicious steamed buns is actually very simple. Just answer your 4 steps. Don’t believe the rumors that you need to add sugar, honey, and milk to make it soft.

Today, I will teach you the most basic and simple steps that Xiaobai can learn at a glance, and make sure that the steamed buns are soft, white, taste good and chewy.

1. Making noodles

Kneading is very important, especially pay attention to the amount of water added and the water temperature .

【Kneading Skills】

1. Pour a spoonful of yeast powder into the mixing bowl, add a small amount of warm water to dissolve the yeast powder;

2. Add an appropriate amount of flour to the mixing bowl, while adding warm water, while stirring in one direction with chopsticks;

3. After all the flour has become lump, knead the flour into a dough with both hands.

You don't need to knead the dough smoothly, just make sure that there is no white flour in the dough. My request greatly reduces the difficulty of Xiaobai. Kneading the dough smooth is a relatively time-consuming process, in fact, it is to better scatter the yeast in the dough.

Precautions:

Water addition: While adding warm water, stir in one direction with chopsticks;

Water temperature: 30-50℃ warm water is suitable, which can greatly shorten the fermentation time;

Second, the dough is proofed once

After mixing the noodles, cover the basin with plastic wrap and leave it at room temperature for proofing.

Initial fermentation time: generally 3-5 hours in summer, specifically determined by indoor temperature; in winter, 4-5 hours in the case of artificially increasing the water area to keep warm.

The initial proofing time is not fixed. You can wait a few hours to see if the dough underneath is obviously larger, and the dough is hand-pulled, and there is a honeycomb shape for proofing.

Note: The initial proofing is very important, and the proofing time must be in place.

3. Make the dough into a steamed bun shape and proof it a second time

1. Transfer the proofed dough to the chopping board, and then start to knead the dough (when kneading the dough, you need to sprinkle some flour on the chopping board, so that it will not stick to the chopping board easily when kneading the dough, and In the process of kneading);

2. Divide the dough into small pieces and shape them by hand;

3. It is suitable for the second proofing at room temperature for 1-1.5 hours.

Four, steamed buns on the pot

1. Boil water in a pot and spread a layer of gauze on the steamer.

2. After the water in the pot is boiled, put the steamed buns that have been proofed twice in the steaming tray. Be sure to separate a certain distance, because the steamed buns will become bigger and too squeezed during the steaming process. Will stick together.

Note: In this step, you must first boil the water before putting the steamed buns into the steamed buns, so that the steamed buns will taste better and soft. Even if it is left for a while, the buns will not become very hard!

3. After steaming in the pot for 40 minutes, keep it warm for 5 minutes, and the soft buns can be out of the pot.

My best friend Xiaobai, it is the first time to learn how to make steamed buns. I followed this simplest method step by step without adding other things to make soft steamed buns.

Steamed buns are actually very easy to make, have you learned it?
