Manual kneading diagram
By DarwinVon
When I first learned to make steamed buns, not only did I knead them crazily when kneading the dough, I had to throw them and throw them, making the kitchen ping. As I gained more experience in kneading dough, and learned from others 'experience, the current kneading technique was gradually formed: use wrist power to repeat two movements: push forward (Figure 1 below) and fold the dough (Figure 2 below). It usually takes about 15-20 minutes to knead the dough until it is smooth.
Recipe Recommendations
- flour 2 bowls
- yeast a teaspoon

The next few pictures show the process from mixing the flour into floc to kneading until smooth. -- First use chopsticks to mix all the ingredients well into flocculent shapes. (Scrape the powder off the edge of the basin as well).
7
Use your hands to gather the dough into a ball (if the dough is too dry and there is a lot of dry powder in the pot, add water as appropriate at this time).
8
Gather all the noodles in the basin into a ball. (There is no extra dry powder in the basin).

What it looks like after kneading for 5 minutes. (Close cover and let stand for 5 minutes).

Including taking pictures, the process took a total of 15 minutes. Excluding the 5 minutes of awakening, the kneading time was about 10 minutes. If the dough is dry or the portions are large, you can increase the number of times and time you rest. The dough relaxes during sitting and forms gluten. After letting it stand and then kneading, it will feel easier to operate and it will not be so laborious to knead.
