1, and the proportion of flour is the basis. Generally 500 grams of flour add 4 grams of yeast and 2 grams of baking powder (adding baking powder can shorten the waking time and make the buns more fluffy, if you don't like it, you can also use white sugar instead).

The dough should be made with warm water at 30-35℃. (The ratio of water to flour is 1:2.) There should not be too much water, otherwise the dough will not ferment easily. Be careful, when mixing the dough, add water slowly, add water while mixing, until the flour becomes pike (snowflake) shape, then knead into a smooth dough.

2, wake up the most important environment. The dough, covered with a damp cloth or wrapped in plastic wrap, is placed in a warm, moist place, slowly waiting for fermentation. Generally, the fermentation should reach 2 times the original size is good.

In summer, when the weather is hot, it takes about 2 hours. If it's winter and the temperature is lower, you can add water to the steamer, boil the water until it's a little hot, about 40℃ turn off the heat, and then put the pot with the dough into the steamer to rise.

3, the second rise is very critical. Knead the dough can be wrapped buns. But after the buns are wrapped, do not immediately go to steam, this is very important, the general public will forget. Because in the rolling, the air inside the dough was exhausted, immediately steamed dough encountered high temperature is easy to retraction, inactivity, steamed buns outside the skin is not fluffy.

The right thing to do is to put it on the board or put it in a steamer with hot water and turn off the heat for the second rise.

4, steaming time strictly grasp. Steam buns, the pot to add enough water, buns under the pad steam cloth or brush a layer of oil. Steaming buns time should be based on the type of bun filling, general vegetarian buns, no more than 15 minutes can be, meat-filled buns 20 minutes is also cooked.

Here is another key knock on the door, that is, when the buns steamed, do not rush to open the lid, turn off the fire and continue to simmer for 3-5 minutes, and so the temperature in the pot has dropped, and then take out the buns on the beautiful, and will not appear the novice often encountered "retraction" problem.
