Teach you not to add a drop of water to make a fluffy and soft hair cake, the success rate is super high, and the taste is not lost to the bought

Today I will teach you how to make pumpkin hair cake, although it is a kneading panel, but it is not difficult at all, because it does not have high requirements for kneading dough, the most important thing is that it only needs one fermentation, in the winter season when fermentation is more difficult, a fermented hair cake can really save a lot of time, so it is worth a try!

【Pumpkin Hair Cake】

Ingredients: 350 grams of pumpkin (weight after peeling), 300 grams of all-purpose flour, 36 grams of caster sugar, 4 grams of high-sugar resistant yeast, 20 grams of corn oil, and an appropriate amount of cooked white sesame seeds

1. Wash and peel the pumpkin, cut it into slices, send it to the steamer, cover the lid, boil the water over high heat and turn to medium heat to steam for about 16 minutes.

2. After the pumpkin is steamed, there will be a lot of water in the bowl, remember to pour the water away, then pour the steamed pumpkin into a large basin, crush it into a puree with a spoon, press it well, add 36 grams of caster sugar while hot, and stir until melted

3. After the pumpkin puree cools to the residual temperature, pour in 300 grams of all-purpose flour and 4 grams of high-sugar resistant yeast, and stir it into a flocculent shape with chopsticks. Tips, be sure to wait for the pumpkin puree to have residual heat before proceeding to this step, otherwise the pumpkin puree is too hot, and it is easy to scald the yeast to death

4. Pour the dough on the kneading panel, you can smear some oil on your hands to prevent sticking, and then start kneading the dough, knead until you can't see the dry powder, add 20 grams of corn oil, continue to knead the dough, and knead until the dough is slightly smooth. Tips, before adding corn oil, kneading the dough may be a little sticky, which is normal, but after adding corn oil, it will slowly become less sticky, and the final kneading state is very soft, a little slightly sticky is also within the normal range, because the dough is soft enough, steamed out will be soft and delicious.

5. Prepare a 6-inch round heightened chiffon mold, and then brush the mold with cooking oil, which is more convenient for demolding. If there is no 6 inches, 7 inches and 8 inches chiffon molds can also be used, but they are made in different heights and sizes

6. Put the kneaded pumpkin dough in the mold, and use the back of the spoon to flatten it and make it more comfortable, as shown in the figure below

7. Wrap two layers of tin foil around the mold, because I use a live bottom mold, in order to prevent water vapor from penetrating from the bottom and causing the bottom to be too wet, so you must wrap the tin foil. Then send it to the steamer, and sprinkle some white sesame seeds on the surface of the dough, after sprinkling, you can press it with the back of a spoon to make the white sesame seeds stick tighter, and you need to pour hot water about 60 degrees into the steamer, cover the lid, and let it use the heat of the water to assist in fermentation.

8. Ferment to twice the size, the 6-inch high chiffon mold used today, the dough is just in the state of full mold after fermenting to twice the size, do not take it out at this time, cover it directly, boil the water in the steamer over high heat, turn to medium heat and steam for 36 minutes, do not take it out after 36 minutes, and use the residual temperature to stuff for 3 minutes

9. After steaming, take it out and let it cool until it is not hot, and you can demold it. If your previous hair cake always collapsed? Then you might as well try this recipe, fluffy and soft like bread, and it tastes great

Tips:

1. If you only have ordinary yeast at home and do not have high-glucose resistant yeast, then please reduce the amount of sugar in the formula by 30 grams. However, it should be reminded that after the amount of sugar is reduced, the finished product will not taste sweet

2. Sprinkle white sesame seeds on the surface, which can also be replaced by red dates and black sesame seeds, or left alone
