Today, I'd like to share with you a kind of jujube flower steamed bread that Han people often eat during the New Year. Basically, it is the most common in rural areas. Grandparents will personally steam this jujube flower steamed bread to eat. It can also be called flower cake, which is especially sweet. Jujube is made from their own trees, with a lot of pulp, thin skin and special sweetness. There is also a pot that Manchu people love to eat, and they must eat it during the New Year. Of course, after learning it, they can make a pot at any time if they want.
jujube flower steamed bread
there are many styles of jujube flower steamed bread, some of which are smaller, that is, single jujube flowers, suitable for younger friends to eat, so there is no need to break them. There are also several layers of jujube flower steamed bread, suitable for a large family to eat, so that it can be cut like a cake, and each person has a small piece, which is particularly delicious. Especially when it's just steamed, the steamed bread is soft, fragrant and delicious.
practice: mix flour, sugar and yeast, add warm water to melt and knead into dough. The dough should be smooth, not touching hands, pots or panels. If you like to eat steamed bread with milk flavor, you can change the water into milk. After reconciliation, the first step is fermentation.
when the dough is ready, knead it for 5 minutes to completely eliminate bubbles. Start making jujube flower steamed bread. Divide the dough into long strips, put the jujube in the middle, clamp it with chopsticks, and pinch both ends tightly. If you want to eat a double layer, you can make several more layers and stack them together. This takes a little longer to steam.
Boil water in a steamer and put in a cage cloth. This kind of white cage cloth is available in my hometown. When it is wet, put jujube flower steamed bread on it. After boiling, steam it for 2 minutes. If it is double-layered, it is recommended to steam for a little longer. When cooked, stew for 2 minutes and take it out.
The smell of jujube is all over the room. You can eat several freshly steamed jujube flower steamed bread at a time, so you can eat it all at once. Jujube flower steamed bread can be steamed with white flour, but also with vegetable noodles or fruit juice, which is more beautiful and delicious. Eating whole grains is good for your health.
