Steps
1. Steam the pumpkin and purple sweet potato in a pot respectively, add a little water and beat them into a paste with a food processor, and let them cool down until they are slightly warm. Take an appropriate amount of pumpkin paste and purple sweet potato paste, and add 4 grams each to the pumpkin paste and purple sweet potato paste
2. Add flour to a basin without water. Pay attention to preparing 400 grams of flour for each color of steamed buns, and add an amount of sugar that you think is acceptable. My family doesn't like the taste of being too sweet, but adding sugar is fine
3. Add the pumpkin paste with yeast powder into the middle of the flour in batches. Do not touch the edge of the basin and stir along the edge of the basin with chopsticks
4. If there is still a lot of dry flour below after stirring, continue to add a little bit of pumpkin paste until it can be stirred into a flocculent shape. This stirring will make it easier and more efficient to knead the dough later. It is easy to make the noodles "three bright"
5. Start kneading the fluffy flour with your hands into a rough dough shape, cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for 5 minutes
6. After five minutes, knead in the basin a few times, wipe the sides of the basin with dough, then take it out and place it on the board and push it with the heel of your hands and knead repeatedly, so that the dough is easy to knead evenly. If it's smooth, put it in the basin and see if it's three-color.
7. Then cover the mouth of the basin with plastic wrap and place it in a warm place to let the dough ferment well! For fermentation, temperature is very critical. If it is too cold, you can wrap yourself in a quilt and put a hot water bottle next to the basin. There are many methods.
8. Let’s use the same method to make four kinds of dough including purple sweet potato! Note that the amounts of pumpkin paste and purple sweet potato paste I gave you are just for reference. You can increase or decrease them appropriately during the dough making process
9. After several hours of waiting, these cute dough finally turned into a big fat man. Press it lightly with your fingers and it will double in size without collapsing. When you peel the dough, you will find honeycomb inside. Just use the hole
10. Take out the dough of various colors and put it on the board. Add a little flour and knead to release the air. Then take 120 grams of each of the three colors of dough you like and knead it into a ball. It is also necessary to roll it into dough pieces, and wrap one of the dough pieces
11. Stack the two dough sheets, then place the steamed bun in the center and wrap it up like a steamed bun filling
12. Wrap it into a bun shape. This is a different color matching bag. The outer two layers are primary color and pumpkin color, and the center is purple potato color. Press flat
13. Turn it over, then find a smaller cup or circle, and gently press a circle in the middle of the dough to make a mark. Don't use force! Then use a knife to cut out the character "rice". Be careful not to cut into the middle circle, so it becomes eight.
14. Divide each equal portion into three equal parts, that is, gently press two marks in the middle of each portion
15. Then pinch the two corners together to form a petal
16. Use the same method to make the other petals, and you can decorate the center as you like
17. Get a different kind of cut flower, cut it into equal parts, and then twist each piece in the same direction
18. Place the cooked food in a steamer with an appropriate amount of warm water (slightly warm but not too hot), cover it, and ferment for about 20 minutes. Then turn on the heat and steam for 15 minutes, then turn off the heat. , be sure not to call immediatelyOpen the lid and wait three minutes before opening it again
19. The steamed product is paired with purple potato paste for breakfast, which is a good meal. Looking at such steamed buns will make you feel good
20. Other patterns are also beautiful!
Tips
- 1. Various colors, due to the amount of purple sweet potato, pumpkin, and red yeast powder, will have different effects on the color of your dough. If you like it darker, add more; if you like lighter, add less
- 2. If you don’t want to make too much at one time, you can only make 200 grams of flour of each color and 2 grams of yeast powder. If you don’t like sugar, you can No, you can also use milk instead of water to make noodles
