How to make Hanamaki

Step 1

Cut the yams and carrots into small pieces and steam them in a food supplement machine for 20 minutes.

Step 2

After steaming, cut the carrots into small cubes.

Step 3

Put the yam into a food supplement machine, add an appropriate amount of warm boiled water and beat into a puree, then weigh 40 grams. »Pour away the water after steaming in the food supplement machine, and stir in the yam.

Step 4

After the yam puree cools down slightly, pour in the yeast, mix well and let it sit for 5 minutes. »As the weather gets cooler, yeast should be activated in a warm environment before use. I did not use warm water in this step because the yam puree itself is already warm. Mothers can also follow my steps when making this complementary food.

Step 5

Slowly pour the yam puree into the flour, stirring until it becomes fluffy. » Let the yam puree cool before pouring it into the flour to avoid burning the flour and affecting the shape.

Step 6

Pour the dough onto the silicone mat and knead it until the surface does not stick to your hands. This step should take about 10 minutes. »Moms, don’t be too impatient when kneading the dough. After kneading for a few minutes, adjust according to the situation. If it is wet, add a little flour, and if it is dry, add a little mud or water. Just knead until the surface of the dough does not stick to your hands.

Step 7

»The fermentation time is not fixed, as long as it ferments until doubled in size. If the fermentation time is too long, it will taste a bit sour.

Step 8

Take a steamer, put a little 50℃ warm water in the steamer, and put the dough on the steamer. This is called warm water fermentation method. Place the dough in a large bowl, ferment until doubled in size, and tear into honeycomb shapes.

Step 9

After fermentation, knead the dough again to remove air bubbles. »Sprinkle a little flour on the silicone mat for kneading to avoid sticking.

Step 10

Roll out the dough with a rolling pin and brush with a thin layer of cooking oil. »You can also sprinkle some flour on the rolling pin to prevent the rolling pin from sticking to the dough. Also, just apply a thin layer of oil.

Step 11

Finally sprinkle with diced carrots and roll up along the edges.

Step 12

After rolling, use a knife to cut into small square pieces. »You can put a little water on the knife so that it won't stick when cutting.

Step 13

Use chopsticks to press the middle of the small pot, and the flower roll will appear. The bottom can be locked slightly.

Step 14

Line the bowl with silicone paper and ferment for 20 secondsminute. »This step is still fermented in warm water of 50 degrees. If the temperature of the warm water is not enough, mothers can add some hot water to ensure constant fermentation of warm water close to 50 degrees.

Step 15

Steam over high heat for 10 minutes, then simmer for 2 minutes. »Remember to simmer for 2 minutes at the end to prevent the rolls from shrinking and hardening when exposed to cold air.

Step 16

It’s done~~~ Give it to your baby to try! Hanamaki cooking tips

Finally, let me summarize today’s food supplement:1. The role of yeast: Yeast contains many active enzymes and can also make the dough structure more fluffy, which helps the baby's digestion. Yeast can also reduce oxalic acid content, which helps the body absorb minerals. 2. Fermentation method: Generally, warm water fermentation is used for fermentation in autumn and winter. Put half a basin of 50-degree warm water in the steamer, put the dough on the steamer, and ferment at a constant temperature to increase the success rate of making. 3. Kneading skills: When kneading the dough, be careful not to knead it too dry. The dough should be relatively soft when pressed lightly. Some mothers make dough that tastes hard or fails to ferment. This is because the dough is too dry and hard. 4. Extension: The diced carrots here can also be replaced with purple sweet potatoes, pumpkins, and red dates. The mix and match is also very good. You can make different flavors of flower rolls and pair them with milk and porridge to complete a meal.
