Soda ash handmade fancy bean paste buns
Overview
Soda ash handmade steamed buns, flower rolls, and steamed dough pancakes are particularly popular in the Northeast, and the business of small street processing workshops is particularly good. It is not only soft and sweet, but also full of flavor and chewy. It has a sweet aroma after entering the mouth. It is not hard when it is cooled. It also becomes more and more fragrant the more you chew it. It is delicious as a staple food or as a snack. Therefore, as long as time allows, my family uses the natural fermentation method to make pasta, which is delicious and simple. If I leave a piece of starter every time I make pasta, it will be easier to ferment the next time.

Steps

What I made today was soda ash handmade fancy bean paste buns. I fermented the dough directly without adding starter or yogurt. The fermentation time was slightly longer. The night before, add an appropriate amount of warm water to the flour, knead it into a dough, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it ferment naturally in a warm place.
-
Take out the fermented dough and knead it evenly. Dissolve 2g of baking soda with some warm water, then knead it into the dough and knead it evenly. If you are not used to weighing flour, you can also do this. After the baking soda is melted with warm water, knead it into the dough bit by bit. Here is the key point. Make sure to knead it repeatedly. There will be no sour smell. Cut it with a knife. Just make sure the two pieces meet and are not sticky. Then let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
-
I also added a drop of red coloring to the rested dough, which is optional. I just bought a bottle of coloring online and wanted to try the color. Just one drop is enough, just a little bit of color, then knead the dough evenly, divide the dough into 12 small dough pieces, take 4 dough pieces and roll them into round cakes, and then put the 4 round cakes together in sequence.
-
Put 2 pieces of bean paste filling, roll it up from one side, then cut it in the middle, and arrange it to make a beautiful rose-style bean paste bun.
-
By analogy, make all the bean paste buns. If you don’t want to make fancy buns, just wrap them with bean paste filling. The size of the bean paste filling can be as you like. You can just wrap it larger.
-
Add appropriate amount of water to the steamer and put the prepared red bean paste buns into the steamer.
-
Turn on the power, bring to a boil over high heat, and steam over medium heat for 15 minutes. I accidentally added a little too much water today. When the pot was boiling, the water poured onto the steamer and the red bean paste buns were bathed in water, so the color also changed.
-
After being taken out of the pot, the color of the red bean paste buns after the water bath is not bad. It does not affect the taste and is equally delicious.
