Finished product.Cocoa flowering steamed buns Make Tips
Tip: 1. If there is a ready-made "old fertilizer", you can omit steps 1-4. The amount of "old fertilizer" used in this formula is 120 grams. 2. Because no yeast is used, the first fermentation time will be very long. I used it took 48 hours. Depending on the room temperature of your home, the time can be appropriately reduced or increased, and it must be fermented until it is fermented, and the finished product will not be affected. For the second and third fermentation, I also allowed some fermentation. 3. The amount of edible alkali shall be determined based on whether the dough is sour. 4. When wrapping the cocoa dough on the white dough, you can apply a proper amount of water to the white dough, and the dough will bond better. 5. Do not knead or shape the good dough. Just place the section of the dough upward on the cage cloth. 6. Using dry cage cloth will make the dough blossom better.
