Rose steamed buns~Dedicated to mother’s love

Overview

When I was a child, I only celebrated birthdays with happiness. After having a baby, I deeply realized how difficult it is to be a mother: the long pregnancy, unimaginable pain of contractions, and the unbearable labor process... A child's birthday is the most painful day in a mother's life, so it is also called a mother's day! Yesterday was my birthday. Because I have severe pollen allergies, I didn’t dare to buy flowers. So I just made some edible flowers for my mother. I hope my beloved mother is safe! Healthy! Joy! 💕🌹👄

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 After the water boils, steam the chopped pumpkin until cooked (about 20 minutes)

   

2. 2 Mash the pumpkin while it's hot and let it cool

   

3. 3 Dissolve yeast powder in warm water and set aside

   

4. 4 Mix the white flour and cool pumpkin paste evenly, add the yeast water (knead while adding)

   

5. 5 Knead the dough until it is slightly hard, cover it with plastic wrap and wait for fermentation (I made this cake with rose steamed buns. The dough is soft, so the petals collapse and look unsightly)

   

6. 6 Wash the red dates, remove cores, cut and cook for 5 minutes

   

7. 7 Let the dough ferment until doubled in size

   

8. 8 Knead the dough well, divide it into small pieces, and roll it into a round dough with four slightly thinner circles in the middle

   

9. 9 Stack 6 pieces of dough together and press in the middle with chopsticks

   

10. 10 Place a small noodle pillar in the middle for support (leave a piece when rolling out the dough and divide it into several noodle pillars)

    

11. 11 Roll up the dough

    

12. 12 Pinch the opening tightly and twist it slightly with your hands

    

13. 13 Cut it in half from the middle, arrange it slightly, and stretch the petals outward

    

14. 14 Secondary fermentation takes about thirty minutes

    

15. 15 Soak dried roses in water, take petals, and place a petal at the stamen of the steamed buns. This way, you can have the sweetness of pumpkin and the fragrance of roses

    

16. 16 Put a cloth on the steamer and bring it to a boil. Invite the roses to take a seat. Steam over high heat for fifteen minutes, and then steam for five minutes (false steaming means: after the steamed buns are steamed, turn off the heat, do not open the lid immediately, and open it after five minutes. During this time, the residual heat of the pot will make the surface of the steamed buns smoother. This process is steaming)
