Little Hedgehog Bean Paste Bun

Overview

For breakfast today, I made hedgehog bean paste buns. My son said he didn’t want to eat them at first, but he ate one anyway. It tasted pretty good. With a cup of purple sweet potato and tremella dew and a stick of corn, it was a rich breakfast.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Dissolve the white sugar with warm water. When the temperature drops to about the same as the temperature of your hands, add the yeast and let it rest for a while. Then slowly add it to the flour, then add water in batches, knead the dough, and ferment.

   

2. 2 Ferment until doubled in size. To test, you can dip your finger in dry flour and poke a hole. If it does not shrink or collapse, it means it is ready.

   

3. 3 Exhaust the air, knead it to the original size again, then roll it into long strips, cut into small pieces, and knead the pieces into a round shape.

   

4. 4 Take a portion, use a rolling pin to roll it out thick in the middle and thin on the sides, then put the bean paste filling on it.

   

5. 5 Pick it up like a bun and pinch the edges tightly.

   

6. 6 In turn, roll the bun into an oval shape, then roll one end into a thin shape, and then pinch out a flat pointed mouth shape.

   

7. 7 Use scissors to cut out the hedgehog's thorns on its back, and dip two black sesame seeds on both sides of its pointed beak to make eyes.

   

8. 8 Brush the bottom of the steamer with oil, add the steamed buns, and allow for secondary fermentation. About 30 minutes

   

9. 9 Put the pot on boiling water and steam for about 15-18 minutes. Turn off the heat and simmer for two minutes. Then you can open the pot and make a few pig's trotters steamed buns. Doesn't it look like?!
