Steaming steamed buns for the second time
We divide wheat flour, bread flour and cake flour here. There is no distinction between high, medium and low gluten flour, but my understanding is wheat flour = medium gluten flour bread flour = high gluten flour cake flour = low gluten flour.
Also, wheat flour has a strong water-absorbing property, so I add more water. Generally speaking, the ratio of flour to water is 2:1, and half of the flour is enough. And for some reason, I feel that the wheat flour is sweet and has sweetness without adding sugar =_="

Recipe Recommendations

  • water appropriate amount

Steps for Steaming steamed buns for the second time

  • Make  step 0
    1
    Prepare the materials. Put the dried yeast in warm water and let sit for 5 minutes. Pour the yeast water into the flour and stir with chopsticks until the water and flour are almost a ball.
  • Make  step 1
    2
    Start kneading the dough with your hands almost as in the picture. After kneading it into a smoother dough, you can start to ferment.
  • Make  step 2
    3
    Start waiting for fermentation. I put it in a kneading basin, covered with plastic wrap/thin gauze soaked with water, put it in the oven or microwave, and then put a bowl or two of hot water next to it and wait for it to ferment. Let it maintain humidity and temperature, haha.
  • Make  step 3
    4
    Fermentation until twice as large (about an hour).
  • Make  step 4
    5
    After fermentation, rub the dough for a few minutes to let the pores escape. Make it into the desired shape and place it in a steamer to ferment for 30 minutes.
  • Make  step 5
    6
    Turn on medium heat and steam for about 20 minutes. I use an induction cooker to steam, and I don't have a steamer so I use a breathable steaming board to steam. (Also, I was afraid that it would leak, so I put two other small pots and a heavy fruit tray on top of the pot. Haha ~ I hope everyone won't laugh at me.
