Steamed buns

Overview

Steamed buns are the most common staple food at home, and the leavened dough is also good for the stomach. Many young friends are afraid of steaming steamed buns. To be honest, I didn’t steam steamed buns well before. The more I do it, the more I naturally get the hang of it. There are three key points: 1. Let the dough rise 2. Let it rise for a second time 3. Do not open the lid immediately after steaming to avoid shrinkage. From personal experience, if these points are done, how can the steamed buns not be delicious
