Self-raising flour needs to be rested to make steamed buns. After the self-raising flour is mixed with water, the dough is buckled and left to rise.

The fastest and best way to make self-raising flour rise:
1. Use warm water
The temperature of self-raising flour needs to be kept at 20 degrees during the rising process. The temperature is between 40 degrees Celsius and 40 degrees Celsius. When the weather is cold like now, you can use hot water with a temperature of about 60 degrees to prevent the temperature of the noodles from cooling too quickly
2. The noodles need to wake up for enough time
Although many self-rising flour instructions claim that it can rise in half an hour, the actual rising time is directly related to the temperature. For example, in winter like this, it often takes two or three hours to rise, and in some places it even takes longer.
3. Add the right amount of water
Some friends have hard hair because they don’t add the right amount of water. In fact, if the water is added appropriately, you can find out during the kneading process. If you add too much water, it will be difficult to form. If you add too little water, the dough will feel hard and the kneaded dough will not be smooth. At this time, you can add a small amount of water. Knead the dough or add water to correct it until you get a smooth and soft dough
