How to make milk steamed buns

Most of the steamed buns we eat are made of flour, which will make people feel too monotonous after eating for a long time. If you make steamed buns at home, you can also make different styles. Not only is the ingredient list very clear, but you can also make fragrant and soft steamed buns. They can be eaten as pastries or directly as a side dish. Milk steamed buns are a very common snack. You need to prepare flour, white sugar, baking powder and milk to make sweet and delicious milk steamed buns.

Required Ingredients

Prepare all the necessary ingredients, 15 grams of white sugar, 400 grams of ordinary flour, 5 grams of baking powder, and 240 grams of milk.

Preparation method

1. Use milk to evenly stir sugar and baking powder to mix and let it stand for about 5 minutes;

2. Wait for the flour to ferment, put it in a bowl, gradually add the warm milk with baking powder and stir the flour until it becomes flocculent;

3. Knead the dough until smooth, put it in a bowl, cover it with a wet cloth or plastic wrap, and place it in a warm place for fermentation;

4. After about 1 hour, the dough will double in size. If you pick up a piece of dough with your hands, you will find that the internal structure is honeycomb-like, indicating that the dough has risen.

5. Knead the risen dough vigorously on the chopping board for about ten minutes until it is smooth and try to make sure there are no bubbles inside the dough;

6. Roll the dough into a cylinder, cut it into small pieces with a knife, arrange it into a round shape, put it into the steamer, cover it, and let it rise for 20 minutes again. This step is very important. The steamed buns will be softer after the second fermentation. (If you don’t like the round shape, you can slightly adjust the cut buns to make square-shaped steamed buns.)

7. Steam the pot with cold water for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat after the time is up, but do not open the lid immediately. Steam it for a few minutes before opening the lid.
