Steps for Purple Rose Mantou

1
Peel three steamed purple potatoes
2
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!

This is the work of my girl. It's very small and cute!

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!

Take another picture from a different angle

This is the dough taken under natural light the next morning with a purple potato added. Let's start the first making method!
10
Grab a piece of dough, rub it into a long strip, divide it into seven doses, roll it into a bun skin, take one and roll it into a flower core, and place the other six in turn like the picture above, with each pressed on three-quarters of the other.
11
What it looks like when rolled up
12
cut in the middle
13
The cut surface is facing down. Look, there is a Zou shape with flowers.
14
Arrange each petal in turn from the outside to the inside, and the two roses are ready.
15
The second method, which has actually been published before, is the green rose recipe. Roll out into a 3 mm thick dough sheet and cut neatly on all sides.
16
Cut into six small rectangular pieces 7 cm long and 5 cm wide.
17
The small cut pieces are rolled into the core
18
Six small rectangular dough sheets, tighten the two short sides respectively to make rose petals
19
Roll each petal around the core in turn
20
Start from the outer petals and fold them out one by one to form a blooming rose.
21
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
22
Stick them on the core in turn. After adhering three layers, fold each petal outward and tidy it up.
23
Another rose is blooming
24
All green roses are made, and cover them with a damp cloth for about 15-20 minutes.
25
Pour cold water into the pan, boil the water over high heat, turn to low heat, steam for 20 minutes, turn off the heat, simmer for 3 minutes, open the lid and take it out! A basket of romantic purple roses blooms in your hands!
26
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!

Which method and which color do you prefer?
