Cover the kneaded dough and place it in a warm place to ferment until it doubles in size. Take it out and knead again. Sprinkle a little dry flour on the chopping board to prevent sticking, and then knead the fermented dough for 3-5 minutes to remove the air from the dough.

  10. All the wrapped bun embryos need to undergo secondary fermentation. The secondary fermentation does not necessarily have to be 20 minutes. When the temperature is cold, the fermentation time is longer, and when the temperature is higher, the fermentation time is shorter. Generally, it depends on the rising trend of the buns. When you see that the bun embryos have obviously grown up and become round, you can start steaming them in the pot. The secondary fermentation of steamed bun embryos is the most critical step in determining the success of steamed buns.

  11. You can brush a little vegetable oil on the steamer to prevent it from sticking. Pour cold water into the pot and turn off the heat after 25 minutes of steaming. 10 minutes after the fire boils, turn to low heat. Do not open the lid immediately after turning off the heat. If you open the lid immediately after turning off the heat, the bun skin will collapse immediately. Turn off the heat and simmer for 3 minutes before opening the lid.
