In our daily life, I believe we can see one or two kinds of cakes similar to steamed bread, steamed stuffed bun and flower rolls on the streets of major cities.
For the development of pastry culture in China, there are many folk pastry artists who can always turn some very simple things into magic.
Just like the most common steamed bread, most ordinary steamed bread is round, but in the hands of those artists, steamed bread has undergone magical changes, but any shape you can think of can be realized in their hands.
Of course, the flower-shaped steamed bread I shared today was also cooked by a pastry chef on TV.
Although it is slightly rough compared with the artist's works, if it is compared with ordinary steamed bread, the food shared today is absolutely beautiful.
If you are interested in this delicious steamed bread today, let's see how it is made.
Food name: patterned steamed bread.
Preparation raw materials: 24 red dates, 300g of medium gluten flour, 4g of yeast, 300ml of 35% pure milk and 6g of sugar.
Step 1: First, we prepare a slightly larger bowl, and pour the prepared medium-gluten flour, yeast and sugar into the bowl and mix well.
Step 2: Then add a small amount of prepared pure milk, stir it into a flocculent shape, knead it into dough, then cover it with a pot cover or a layer of plastic wrap and leave it in a warm place for 30 minutes.
Basically, as long as you can sleep in the state shown below.
Step 3: Then knead and exhaust the dough properly, separate two large doughs of 2/5 and 3/5 with a flour cutter, and then divide the two doughs into six doses of similar size. Because today's fancy steamed bread needs to be wrapped in big dough, there needs to be a difference between big and small agents.
Step 4: Then, according to the operation shown below, roll the smaller medicine into a ball, roll the larger medicine into a round cake, then put the small ball on the round cake, and then make four symmetrical cuts around the small round cake with a knife.
Step 5: Then pinch the two opposite fan-shaped dough together. Please refer to the figure below for specific operations.
Step 6: Then do the same operation on the other two sides, and then wrap a red date on each of the four corners that are not closed, so that our patterned steamed bread embryo is completed.
Step 7: Finally, put the raw embryo of patterned steamed bread on the steamer, cover it first, wake it for 10 minutes without fire, then cook it with strong fire for 16 minutes, and then take it out to taste.
Compared with today's fancy steamed bread, it is rich in milk, sweet and nutritious, and no matter which breakfast steamed bread stands out in the street. If you are interested in this kind of food today, try it yourself at home.
