  • Handmade Baixue steamed buns Make Tips

    Poetic Heart Phrases: 1: It is best to use warm water when making noodles. 2: Steps 5, 6, 7, and 8 are the key to whether the steamed buns are good or bad. When kneading dough, use the strength of your wrist, and fold and change your head repeatedly. The more finely the dough is kneaded, the smoother the steamed buns will be. (Pay attention to the dough comparison in steps 4 and 9) 3: To knead the dough until it is smooth, it usually takes me more than 10 to 15 minutes. 4: When fermenting for the second time, it usually takes 15 to 20 minutes in summer. Winter takes a long time. (When you are not proficient at it, you can open it often and see that the steamed buns have become larger and plump.) 5: The secondary-fermented steamed buns are very light and soft. It is best not to grab them with your hands, but use a kitchen shovel to shovel them into the pan. This way, the steamed buns are more beautiful. 6: Leave a gap between steamed buns, because as the temperature slowly increases during steaming, the steamed buns will become bigger. 7: Don't boil the pan immediately after steaming, it's best to simmer it for 2 or 3 minutes. And when opening the lid, be careful not to drop water from the lid on the steamed buns. 8: The wet gauze mentioned above is to wring out the water.
