Three flavor steamed buns

Overview

Nowadays, I like making steamed buns more and more. Practicing it again and again makes me perfect. I don’t like to make steamed buns that are too big. The small and delicate ones taste good, haha, but the shape of the buns needs more practice. The taste is already good, the red date flavor is my favorite.

In order to allow the dough to ferment normally in a warm place, I added boiling water to another basin, put the dough basin into it, and covered the pot with a lid.
