Milk dumplings

Overview

I bake this bun the most, and the most people eat it. Many of them are given to friends, and they all say it is very delicious. You can’t buy buns with this flavor in supermarkets. It is very similar to the old-fashioned bread in the past. It tastes pure and authentic, really loose, soft, and fragrant. It is very suitable for breakfast.

  8. Some friends asked where to ferment. This is what I did. I put a bowl of water at the bottom of the oven and set the temperature to between 35 and 40 degrees. If there is no need to heat it in summer, just cover it with plastic wrap and let it ferment.

  9. Prepare the egg liquid. I usually add a little water to the egg liquid so that the baked bread will be shiny
