One thing that novices must pay attention to when making steamed buns and flour is: use warm water to mix the flour, and put it in a warmer place after finishing, so that the flour will be cooked in an hour or two.

Beginners often have no idea how to make flour, just because they don't know how much water to use for flour mixing and how to use warm water for flour mixing. Generally speaking, it is enough to put 4~5 ounces of water into a catty of flour, and the water temperature is preferably about 4 ~5 degrees. It is best to mix the yeast powder used in dough making with water, so that the yeast powder and flour can be fully integrated when mixing dough, and the dough will be made faster. When kneading dough, you must make the dough smooth and particle-free. After kneading dough, cover the basin with plastic wrap and leave it in a warm place for one or two hours. Wait until the dough rises, then knead the dough by hand to let out the air in the dough, and then wait for half an hour until the dough can be used after secondary fermentation.

Be sure to sift the flour before making it, so as to filter out the impurities in the flour, make the flour more delicate and make it easier to mix the flour. The temperature of the place where flour is fermented must not be too low. If there is heating at home, you can put it on the heating, which will greatly shorten the fermentation time and make the dough softer. My favorite food is steamed stuffed bun with dough, which is very soft when I take a bite, so dough making is really a technical job, so I must practice it often.

after mixing the flour, you must not always check whether the flour is fermented well, because this will increase the problems and the flour will be very sour. Be sure to see if the dough is fermented after mixing for an hour or two. If it takes too long, the dough will have other flavors and taste bad. Therefore, we must pay attention to the time, temperature and the proportion of adding water. Only by paying attention to these three aspects can we ferment good and soft dough.
