Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Mix all the ingredients for the dough and knead until the gluten expands and the surface is smooth. Place the dough in a humid environment at about 28 degrees for the first fermentation, until the small holes poked in the dough with flour do not rebound. After the fermentation is completed, take out the dough and deflate it, divide it into 60g small pieces of dough (about 9 pieces), roll it into a round shape, cover it with plastic wrap and let it rest for 15 minutes.

   

2. 2 Shape the purple sweet potato filling into small balls of 25g each (about 9 pieces). After the relaxation, roll the dough into a round piece that is slightly thicker in the middle and slightly thinner around the edges, and wrap 1 purple sweet potato filling.

   

3. 3 With the seam side facing down, roll the dough into a thick round piece again. For the sake of the beauty of the finished product, make it as round as possible. Use a scraper to make 8 even cuts along the circumference of the dough. Be sure to cut through, but keep the center of the dough intact.

   

4. 4 Turn each piece of dough over, with the cut side facing up, and then gently open the cut to expose the purple sweet potato filling. (Note that when flipping, the flipping directions of two adjacent pieces of dough must be opposite, so that the finished product will form a beautiful four-leaf clover shape.

   

5. 5 Place the shaped dough on the baking sheet and place it in a humid environment at about 38 degrees for the second fermentation. After fermentation is complete, brush the surface with egg wash.

   

6. 6 Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and heat the middle rack up and down for 15-20 minutes.
