Overview

White-flour steamed buns are just like rice. They don’t have a gorgeous appearance or bright colors, but they are something you won’t get tired of eating, and they are real. From the appearance point of view, there will be some air in the steamed buns made by hand at home. This is because when deflating the dough by hand, there is no way to completely remove the air bubbles inside like a dough rolling machine. This is also an inevitable problem of manual kneading. Although what I cook is as long as it is healthy and delicious, I still hope to get the best of both worlds, because beautiful food always brings people a better appetite.

  6. Take out the fermented dough, deflate it on a surface sprinkled with a little dry flour, knead it into a smooth dough again, and then knead it into thin strips. (If you want to make steamed buns without any bubbles on the surface, try to get rid of the bubbles in the dough in this step)

  7. Use a knife to cut into steamed bun embryos of similar size. (When cutting steamed buns, you don’t cut them slowly like vegetables, but “chop” into sections with one stroke. The movement should be fast and accurate. Although I can’t cut it into the same size myself, practice makes perfect, and you will naturally improve with more practice.)

  8. The cut surface of the cut steamed bun embryo should be smooth and there should be no bubbles.

  9. Place the cut steamed bun embryos on a lightly oiled steamer rack and ferment for half an hour. (Or you can lay a drawer cloth on the steaming rack)

  10. Pour a pot of cold water into the pot, bring to a boil over high heat, then turn to medium heat and steam for about 5 minutes. The steaming time can be increased or decreased according to the size of the steamed buns. (I have already added cold water to the pot during the second fermentation, and steam it directly after fermentation)

  11. Do not open the lid of the steamed buns immediately after steaming. Continue to simmer for about 3 minutes before opening. When opening, try not to let water droplets from the lid drip on the buns to avoid causing the buns to collapse.
