How to make steamed buns

To make delicious buns, you must first start with kneading the dough. Use half whole wheat flour and half white flour, pour into a basin, use chopsticks to make a well in the middle, pour in a small amount of water, and add an appropriate amount of yeast powder. For “appropriate amount”, you can refer to the instructions on the yeast package. When you first start making it, you may not have experience and may have questions about how much to put in. But it doesn’t matter. If you put in too little, the fermentation time will be longer. On the contrary, if you put in too much, it will not affect anything. The key is to make sure you check the production date and shelf life of the yeast. Expired yeast will not be able to make dough. Add water while stirring with chopsticks until the flour forms flakes. Finally, knead the dough into dough, apply some water on the surface of the dough to keep it moist, cover it, and place it in a warm place to ferment. Here are some of the more popular ones:
