Mid-Autumn Moon Rabbit Buns

Overview

The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. According to traditional custom, family members eat moon cakes and drink chrysanthemum tea together during Mid-Autumn Festival reunions. Although sweet mooncakes are delicious, they are high in oil and sugar. Elderly and children will inevitably feel greasy and difficult to digest if they eat too much. Today I will introduce to you a kind of small bread that is eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival. It is egg-free and oil-free, soft and delicious - the Mid-Autumn Moon Rabbit Bun. The ingredients are very simple. It only requires a few basic ingredients such as flour, water, yeast powder, sugar and salt. There are no additives, so your family can eat it with confidence. The production process includes dough kneading, first fermentation, venting, shaping, secondary fermentation and baking. If you don’t have an oven at home, it’s also good to steam it as steamed buns. Let’s take a look at how to do it next. The ingredients can be used to make about 16 moon rabbit buns, each weighing 30 grams.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Prepare various ingredients. Weigh out 330 grams of wheat flour for golden arowana bread, sift it and set aside.

   

2. 2 Pour 190 grams of cold water and 5 grams of yeast powder into the inner bucket of the bread machine. If you don’t have a bread machine, you can pour it into a basin. Use Arowana bread to cover the water and yeast powder with wheat flour, then pour in sugar and salt. Sugar will be decomposed and transformed during the fermentation process, so you don’t have to worry about excessive sweetness or raising blood sugar.

   

3. 3 Start the bread machine and knead into a smooth dough. Select the fermentation program and ferment for 1 hour until the volume doubles.

   

4. 4 Take out the dough, knead it evenly and deflate it, cover it and let it rest for 20 minutes, then divide it into 16 dough balls of equal size. Take one piece of dough and roll it into a thin sheet and cut it into a figure-eight shape as shown in the picture.

   

5. 5 Fold the two corners of the figure-eight shape back and roll up the dough from the bottom. Fold all the way to the position as shown in the picture.

   

6. 6 Pinch the two ends towards the middle as shown in the picture. Press the interface tightly on the back.

   

7. 7 Next, use chopsticks to make small holes for the eyes, stuff the honey beans inside, and a little rabbit head is roughly ready. Place in the middle rack of the oven, select the fermentation mode, and ferment for about 20 minutes. Ferment until 1.5 times in size, brush a little egg yolk water on the surface (add egg yolk and a little water and mix thoroughly).

   

8. 8 Continue to bake on the middle shelf of the oven at 150 degrees for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.
