Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Warm the milk to about 30 degrees, pour in the yeast, let it sit for a few minutes, slowly pour it into the flour basin, stir the dough while pouring, and mix well

   

2. 2 Use your hands to knead the dough into a smooth dough that does not stick to your hands. Cut out 20 grams of small dough, roll it into a ball, put it in a basin, cover it with plastic wrap, and leave it in a warm place to ferment

   

3. 3 Use a toothpick to pick up a little pink coloring and knead it into the divided dough

   

4. 4 After kneading the dough evenly, wrap it in plastic wrap. Because the dough is very small, it cannot be fermented in a warm place like large dough. It will over ferment. I put it in the refrigerator

   

5. 5 Add an appropriate amount of brown sugar, then pour in a little flour, stir evenly to form a brown sugar filling

   

6. 6 Ferment the dough until it doubles in size and deflate the air

   

7. 7 Divide into small pieces of 50g each, knead again and roll into balls

   

8. 8 Take a small dough, sprinkle it with hand flour, and roll it out

   

9. 9 Wrap in the prepared brown sugar filling and tighten the seal

   

10. 10 Take the pink dough out of the refrigerator, sprinkle with hand flour, and roll it into very thin sheets

    

11. 11 Use a sharp knife to cut into three isosceles shapes to make piggy ears

    

12. 12 Put the remaining pink dough together again and roll it into a 0.5 cm thick sheet

    

13. 13 Use a 0.5cm wide piping tip to cut out a round shape and flatten it to make the piggy’s nose

    

14. 14 Dip some water into the ears and nose, place them in the corresponding position of the piglet, and use a toothpick to poke two holes in the nose

    

15. 15 Dip black sesame seeds in water to make piggy eyes. Then take a small piece of dough, roll it into a ball, dip it in water, and place it on the piggy's butt to make the tail. Steam in cold water for 20 minutes. Turn off the heat and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes. Open the lid and take out the piggy
