Pooh bean paste steamed buns
Ingredients
- Plain flour 220g
- Pumpkin puree 120g
- Dry yeast 2 grams
- Bean Paste 140g
- Black cocoa powder 2 grams
- Dry flour 15g
Steps
1. Peel and cut the pumpkin into pieces, steam it in a pot and mash it into a puree. You can also use a food processor to smash it
2. Pour the yeast powder into warm water, stir well and let it sit for 5 minutes. Now I will give you a detailed introduction to the techniques of kneading noodles without sticking to the basin
3. Weigh the flour, pour it into a dry and waterless basin, dig a hole in the middle, pour in yeast water and 100 grams of pumpkin
4. Don't start in a hurry. Use chopsticks to fill the surrounding flour into the middle hole, then stir in a circle. Don't let the water touch the edge of the basin. Stir into a flocculent shape, and then mix the noodles with it. Use a scraper to scrape the sides of the basin clean
5. Now you can start, roughly knead the dough into a dough, and use the dough to wipe the sides of the pot clean
6. Then take out the dough and place it on the chopping board with your right handPush the heel of your palm forward and roll your left hand back and forth, using skill to knead the dough until it is smooth and there is no dough left on your hand
7. After kneading into a smooth dough, add 20 grams of black cocoa powder and knead into a cocoa black dough
8. Put the two doughs into two basins respectively, seal them with plastic wrap and ferment until doubled in size. I fermented them in a bread machine. There are many fermentation methods. Use your own Whichever way you like
9. During the fermentation process, we will make the bean paste filling and form it into 7 portions. Each filling portion is 20 grams. I made 7 portions of this recipe and still have some left. Where’s the dough?
10. The dough has been fermented. Let it ferment until it doubles its original size. Do not over ferment it, otherwise the taste will be greatly reduced, you know
11. The fermented cross-section structure is like this
12. Take it out and put it on the chopping board to release air. Sprinkle 15 grams of dry flour and fermented dough and knead repeatedly to release air. Knead until there are no large air holes in the cut surface. Whether it becomes a good steamed bun, this procedure is the key
13. Divide the large dough into 7 pieces, 50 grams each, and knead 14 small pieces of 4 grams. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand for 10 minutes
14. Wrap the bean paste filling, or your favorite fillings, to moisturize like a bun, then roll it into a round shape and flip it upside down to get a smooth steamed bun
15. Put the other two small ones on top to make ears. Take a little black cocoa powder dough and twist it into strips to make the expression nose, eyes, mouth and eyebrows. Pay attention to the eyebrows and mouth to be thinner. Good looking
16. Place the lid on a steamer with gauze and let it rise for 20 minutes
17. Put an appropriate amount of cold water in the pot, bring to a boil over high heat, then turn to medium heat and steam for 20 minutes. After steaming, leave it for 5 minutes before uncovering it. If you don’t have black cocoa powder or ordinary cocoa powder, you don’t need to make dough.
18. Come on, let’s see if our Pooh is handsome
19. Look at these two bears, they are so cute
Tips
- 1. Pay attention to the doughThe basin must be dry and free of water. The basin that is not dry can be dried before use or blown dry with a hair dryer before use. Dig a hole with flour to prevent water from touching the wall of the basin
- 2. The amount of pumpkin is only a reference. Do not put the pumpkin in all at once to prevent the dough from being too thin. Different flours have different moisture levels. Wait until kneading If the dough comes out a little dry, slowly add more pumpkin
- 3. Put an appropriate amount of cold water in the pot, bring to a boil over high heat, then turn to medium heat and steam for 20 minutes. After steaming, leave it for 5 minutes before uncovering
