Flower Steamed Bun (flower Bun)
1.
Prepare ingredients. Ordinary flour: 500g, yeast: 4g, aluminum-free baking powder: 1g
2.
Red yeast rice: appropriate amount; cocoa powder: appropriate amount; food coloring: appropriate amount
3.
Press the red yeast rice into a powder, add water to boil, filter out the residue with gauze, leave the red yeast rice water, and leave it to warm for later use. You can also buy ready-made red yeast rice noodles for direct mixing. I think the red yeast rice water made by myself is more at ease.
4.
Mix the yeast and baking powder into the flour and mix well. Take two small amounts of flour from it, and use cocoa powder and red yeast rice water to form a two-color dough to prepare plum blossoms and tree trunks.
5.
Put the red dough and the coffee-colored dough in separate containers, cover with a moist cloth, and ferment separately in a warm place.
6.
Mix most of the remaining flour with warm water to form a white dough, cover the dough with a moist cloth, and ferment in a warm place.
7.
When the dough has risen to 1.5 to 2 times its original size, it can be added. Make a steamed bun embryo.
8.
Knead the red dough into small balls, which are the embryonic form of plum petals.
9.
Pinch the small ball into a petal shape, connect the petals, and pinch the bottom of the petals.
10.
One more petal.
11.
Five petals form a group to form a plum blossom.
12.
Gather the petals so that the petals gather toward the center.
13.
Use a toothpick to take a small amount of white noodles to make stamens, and fix the stamens in the middle of the flowers. One plum blossom is done, according to this method, make several plum blossoms.
14.
Assembly. Knead the coffee-colored dough into slender strips, arranging the shape of the plum tree trunk as you like. Dip the flowers and tree trunks with a little water and stick them on the embryos of steamed buns for secondary fermentation. Observe that the volume of the steamed buns becomes larger and the surface of the dough is fluffy and rises. It is steamed in the pot and cooked in 20 minutes after the steaming.
15.
Garnish with food coloring according to personal preference. In addition to being edible, the steamed bun is also very ornamental. (END)

The floral decorations are rich in connotation, bright in color and in various shapes. Birds and beasts, flowers, birds, fish and insects, historical figures, and folklore can all be turned into lifelike artistic shapes, expressing sacrifices to ancestors, blessings for elders, and longing for a better life.

All the contents of the flower buns symbolize good luck, and embody the deep and beautiful feelings of people.

It is said that imagination is the best flavoring agent for life. Let us use our imagination together to make life full of wonderful flavors.
Tips:
1. The noodles should be a little harder to make it easier to shape.
2. Don't throw away the residue from the red yeast rice water. It can be wrapped in gauze stewed meat, eggs, etc. The marinated food is bright red and more nutritious.
3. After turning off the heat, let it cool for 3-5 minutes and then lift the lid to prevent the finished product from collapsing due to rapid cooling.
