Whole wheat steamed buns~ Here are all the tips for steaming steamed buns!
Overview
The variety of flour types in supermarkets can make people confused. In the end, they don’t know which one to choose. Let’s first clarify the types and uses of these flours: 1. How to choose flour 1. Self-rising flour: As the name suggests, it is a kind of flour that can be directly kneaded with warm water without adding dry yeast. Self-raising flour can be kneaded into a dough by adding warm water and allowed to rise until it is doubled in size. 2. Dumpling flour: This kind of flour is more suitable for making noodles, dumpling wrappers, chaos wrappers, cake wrappers, etc. This kind of flour has a strong taste, does not become rotten after being cooked, and has better ductility when stretched, so it will not break easily. Dumpling flour is not suitable for steaming steamed buns and steamed buns. 3. Fuqiang flour: Fuqiang flour is relatively fine, with high gluten content and few impurities. It may be considered high-gluten flour. Fuqiang powder and an appropriate amount of yeast can also be used to steam steamed buns. 4. Ordinary flour: Ordinary flour is relatively coarse and is the so-called low-gluten flour. Ordinary flour is very suitable for making steamed buns and steamed buns. 5. Standard powder: Standard powder is somewhere in between. Standard flour can be used for pasta. 6. Wheat heart flour: It is usually used to make steamed buns, steamed buns, noodles, Chinese dim sum, etc. It is a good choice. 7. Whole wheat flour: Whole wheat flour is a whole grain of wheat that is only ground during milling without going through the process of removing the bran. The whole grain of wheat, including the bran and germ, is ground into powder and is called whole wheat flour. Whole wheat flour and an appropriate amount of flour can also be used to steam steamed buns. 8. For the above types of flours, except self-rising flour which does not require the addition of yeast, other types of flour steamed buns require the addition of yeast powder. 2. How to use yeast Yeast can be purchased in general supermarkets. The yeast needs to be added with an appropriate amount of warm water and stirred thoroughly to melt, then add it to the flour and knead it into a dough. The water used to melt the yeast should be between 35 degrees and 38 degrees. If the water temperature is too high, the yeast will be scalded to death. In general households, it is appropriate for the water to be warm and not hot to touch. 3. The ratio of water yeast to flour: Angel yeast is one percent of flour, 1 pound of flour is 5 grams, and so on. Dissolve 10 grams of yeast with a little water at 38 degrees and put it into 2 pounds of noodles. 4. Proofing time The proofing time of the dough should be determined according to the room temperature. If it is summer, the dough will proof in about 1 hour. If the room temperature is around 278 degrees, it will take about 2 hours. If the room temperature is 178 degrees, the dough will take about 3-4 hours to proof. The dough should be placed in the basin and covered with a lid, otherwise the dough skin will dry out and crack. If the room temperature is low and you have an oven at home, you can put it directly in the oven for fermentation. The dough is ready when it has risen to 2 times its size. If the dough rises too much, the dough will have a sour taste, but it does not affect eating. The steamed buns have no sour taste, but the texture is slightly worse. 5. Knead the dough. For the first time, knead the dough until it is smooth. It will take about 5 minutes. After the dough has risen, sprinkle an appropriate amount of flour on the surface and knead again for 3-5 minutes. Then shape it into small steamed bun embryos. After kneading the steamed bun embryos, do not steam them immediately. They need to rest for about 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, you will obviously see that the buns have grown up. 6. Time and techniques for steaming steamed buns: about 25-30 minutes. Put an appropriate amount of cold water in the pot, brush an appropriate amount of vegetable oil on the grate, and place the steamed bun base on the steamer, leaving a gap in the middle, because the steamed buns will expand a bit in the steamer. After the fire came to a boil, thick white mist appeared. Continue steaming for 78 minutes, then change to medium heat and steam for 167 minutes. It is very important not to open the lid immediately after turning off the heat. Turn off the heat and wait 3 minutes before opening the lid. If you open the lid immediately after turning off the heat, you will see that the fluffy buns will collapse immediately. Set aside 3 minutes to allow the steamed buns in the pot to slowly simmer again in the heat. I have sorted out so much about how to steam steamed buns, I hope everyone can see it more clearly. If you master these points, you will definitely be able to steam steamed buns and steamed buns.

-
Dissolve 4 grams of yeast in 280 grams of warm water. The water temperature should be around 35-38 degrees.
-
Slowly pour the water into the flour, and stir while adding the yeast water. Do not pour it all at once. Knead into a smooth dough, about 5-8 minutes.
-
Place the kneaded dough in a basin and cover it to ferment. Let the dough rise until doubled in size.
-
Poke the dough with your finger to make sure it doesn't collapse and the inside of the dough is evenly honeycomb-shaped.
-
Sprinkle a little flour on the chopping board to prevent sticking, pour the fermented dough onto the chopping board and knead again for 2-3 minutes.
-
Roll the dough into thicker strips.
-
Cut the dough into evenly sized pieces
-
Knead the area again for 1-2 minutes. Whether it is steamed buns or steamed buns, this step must be done.
-
Shape and make steamed bun embryos.
-
The prepared steamed bun embryos are placed at room temperature for 15 minutes for secondary fermentation. After 15 minutes, the steamed buns have obviously grown larger.
-
Put an appropriate amount of cold water in the pot, brush an appropriate amount of vegetable oil on the grate, and place the steamed bun base on the steamer, leaving a gap in the middle, because the steamed buns will expand a bit in the steamer.
