The method I want to share today is steamed, and the steamed bread does not taste like the aroma of high-temperature roasting. The steamed bread is soggy, and the richest flavor is the egg. The method is very simple and easy to learn, you can make it without an oven, the main ingredients are eggs and flour, when it comes out of the pot, it is soft and sweet in the mouth. If you're interested, just bookmark it and give it a try!
【Required Documents】
4 eggs, 3 grams of yeast, 25 grams of sugar, a few drops of white vinegar, 350 grams of gluten flour/plain flour, 20 ml of corn oil, some dried fruits.
【Steps】
1. Put together four eggs, 3 grams of yeast, 25 grams of sugar, and a few drops of white vinegar. Beat well with chopsticks. The amount of sugar can be increased according to personal taste, and if you want to eat sweeter, you can add another 20 grams.
2. 350 grams of gluten flour, add a small amount to the egg and sugar mixture. Stir while pouring, stirring until a large dough is flocculated, then add 20 grams of vegetable oil. The specific amount of flour is determined according to the size of the egg, and the egg is large and liquid, so pour more flour into it. Adding a little oil will make the bread softer, and the best oil is to choose one that has no flavor. Flavorful oil cannot be removed by steaming. Plain flour can be used without high-gluten flour.
3. Knead the dough into a soft dough.
4. Move onto the cutting board and knead the dough like a garment.
5. Rub it until you can pull out a film. If the film is out of the film, the bread will have a drawing effect, and the drawing effect is better with high-gluten flour.
6. Round the dough and flatten it slightly. Then use a rolling pin to roll out a rectangular sheet of dough.
7. Prepare a little dried fruit, such as raisins, dried cranberries, etc. It tastes a little hearty this way. Spread it on the top half of the dough sheet, spread it a little more with more ingredients, don't feel too greedy, eat it yourself anyway.
8. Roll up the part covered with dried fruit.
9. Cut the lower part with a knife and space about 3 cm apart. This makes it easier to tear it open and eat it at the last moment.
10. Roll up the part that is cut out in the lower half.
11. Coiled it up at the end. The tail is pressed underneath, just don't show it, loosen it a little, don't make it too dense, and ferment later.
12. Prepare a container. I use a six-inch live bottom cake mold, and if I don't have one, I can use a regular basin. Paste oil paper to prevent sticking, and brush some oil on all sides without brushing it. Spread the tray of green billets. Prepare warm water in a pot at a temperature of 40 degrees. Put the green billet on top, cover and let it ferment for about 40-50 minutes. This method uses a single fermentation.
13. Ferment to 8 points full like this, don't send too much, otherwise too much air inside, it will crack when steaming, and it will collapse after a ceasefire. Brush the noodles with egg yolk liquid and sprinkle some black sesame seeds.
14. Pot with cold water, turn the water to medium-low heat and steam for 45 minutes, and then open the lid when the time is simmering for about 3 minutes. Be sure to put enough water, and don't open the lid halfway. The surface can be covered with plastic wrap or not, if you don't cover it, water vapor will fall off the surface and destroy the lines. You can use a plate or tin foil.
15. When it is not hot, it will be demolded, and it is very satisfying to eat it by hand! Fluffy and sweet.
Tips:
1. Press it when it comes out of the pot at the end, if it won't rebound, it means that it is not steamed, and it will be sticky inside, and it will stick together.
2. If you use ordinary flour, you don't have to work too hard to knead the membrane, because it takes a lot of time.
