Tips

The amount of water is 45-50% of the flour,and the amount of yeast is 1-1.5% of the flour?

1, steamed buns cool water, hot water into the pot can be, but still cool water into the pot is better, first of all, there will be no danger of scalding, and cool water into the pot will make the buns heat more evenly. Water boiling into the pot may make the buns skin more dry without elasticity.

2. Don't open the lid of the pot immediately after turning off the heat, and don't keep it in the pot. Simmer for 3 to 5 minutes before opening the lid, otherwise the buns will immediately encounter cold air and the surface will be wrinkled.

3, steamed buns steamed, drawer cloth is not easy to remove. You can pour some cool water on the drawer cloth, it can be easily removed, and will not stick to the skin of the steamed buns.

4, cooling, it is best to cover the buns on the semi-dry drawer cloth to cool naturally?

5, heating leftover steamed buns: leftover steamed buns skin is easy to become dry and hard, heating before the surface of the steamed buns sprinkled with some water, and then put into the steamer to heat up, the buns will be as fluffy as the new steamed.
