Butterfly Cake

Add plain flour, water and appropriate amount of yeast powder to the purple potato puree and pumpkin puree to knead into a smooth dough.

Put the kneaded dough in a basin and cover with plastic wrap to ferment.
4.
When the dough is fermented to 1.5 to 2 times its original size, the fermentation can be completed.

Take a small piece of each type of dough and knead it into a long strip.

The dough fermented with yeast powder must be added with some alkaline noodles to prevent the steamed noodles from being sour.
