    Use a kitchen knife to sip it into mud on the chopping board. The weight is 330 grams. Add 530 grams of flour, 5 grams of yeast, and about 250 grams of clear water (water is added twice, because the water absorption amount of flour from different brands in different places is different, and the amount of water added is also different)

    It was too late to make smooth dough, so I only left a small part of the dough to wakeup until it was twice as big. I didn't take detailed production pictures either. I left most of the sides and put them in the refrigerator for low-temperature fermentation. I took it slowly the next morning, so the detailed production pictures were all below. The color taken under the light at night turned purple, which was seriously distorted! Let's take a look at the renderings taken at night first. They're very beautiful!

    In the same mode of the camera, the same steamed bun, the color photographed in daylight is basically the same as the real color. It tasted light and had no sweetness, so I added a whole piece of mashed purple potatoes to the remaining dough. When making, you can add enough purple potatoes directly. The color is beautiful and the taste is sweet!

    Okay, now we start the third production method. Pull a small piece of dough, rub it into a long strip, and roll it into a core with the same method on top. Pull a small piece of dough, rub it into a round ball in your palm, flatten it, and arrange it into this shape

    Stick them on the core in turn. After adhering three layers, fold each petal outward and tidy it up.

    Another color of purple mashed potatoes was added, which was obviously heavier than the night before, and the taste was much sweeter! But when the two colors are paired together, they are even more beautiful, hehe!
