What are the tips for making steamed buns?

(1) When steaming buns, if the dough is not yet fully risen, dig a small well in the middle of the dough and pour in two small cups of white wine. Wait for 10 minutes and the dough will start to rise.

(2) If you don’t have yeast when making dough, you can use honey instead. Add 15-20 grams of honey for every 500 grams of flour. After the dough is kneaded and softened, cover it with a wet cloth and let it rise for 4-6 hours. The steamed buns made with honey dough are soft, fragrant and sweet when eaten.

(3) In winter, the indoor temperature is low and it takes longer for the dough to rise. If you add some sugar to the dough during fermentation, the time it takes to rise can be shortened.

(4) People often add an appropriate amount of alkali to the fermented dough to remove the sour taste. To check whether the amount of alkali applied is appropriate, you can cut a piece of dough with a knife. If there are evenly distributed holes the size of sesame seeds on it, it means that the amount of alkali applied is appropriate.
