High-gluten flour

Generally, when we make buns, we choose high-gluten flour, because the nutrients contained in high-gluten flour are higher than the other two types, not only the protein content, but also the protein content. There are more of them, and the high-gluten flour is relatively high in gluten. The buns made with high-gluten flour are chewy and the buns taste better. Therefore, low-gluten flour is not suitable for making steamed buns. Low-gluten flour is generally used to make cakes, snacks, etc.

Steamed buns skills:

Yeast powder is indispensable whether making steamed buns, flower rolls, flatbreads, or making buns. Many friends are not sure how much yeast powder to put in when making dough. Many novice friends are afraid that it will not rise when making dough, so they put a lot of yeast powder in. The dough will rise very soft, but the steamed buns will not be yeasty. The smell is very strong and the flavor of the noodles is completely lost.

So when making dough, we still have to strictly follow the requirements on the packaging of yeast powder. When making steamed buns, I always add 3 to 5 grams of yeast powder to a pound of flour, and 275 to 280 grams of warm water is fine. , the dough of steamed buns is slightly softer. Some friends like to add baking soda and alkali when making steamed buns. Baking soda can leave the dough, but the gas it releases is not very abundant. The finished product after using baking soda to leaven the dough is not as soft. very good.

I don’t like the smell of steamed buns steamed by adding alkali too much, so if you want to speed up the fermentation and improve the success rate of dough, it is not enough to just add yeast powder. We make steamed buns in Add some sugar when making dough, and add some milk and egg white when steaming steamed buns. The steamed buns will be soft and fragrant.

If you want steamed buns to be white and soft, many friends will make buns directly after the dough has risen. This is wrong. The correct method is to knead the dough several times after taking it out, and steam it like this. The buns will come out fluffy, soft and delicious.
