Huaxiang Mantou Welcomes The New Year
1.
First, steam the pumpkin and purple potato separately in the pot, add a little water and make a paste with a cooking machine, and put it in a state where the temperature is a little afterward. Take appropriate amount of pumpkin paste and purple potato paste, and add 4 grams of yeast powder to each of the pumpkin paste and purple potato paste. Stir it with a spoon and set aside for a while to let the yeast prepare to work.
2.
Add flour to a water-free basin. Prepare 400 grams of flour for the steamed buns of each color, and add the amount of white sugar that I think is acceptable. My family does not like the too sweet taste, but adding white sugar can help fermentation and flavor, so four color steamed In each, I only added 20 grams of sugar
3.
Add the pumpkin paste with yeast powder into the middle of the flour in portions, without touching the edge of the pot, stir along the edge of the pot with chopsticks
4.
After mixing, if there is a lot of dry flour underneath, continue to add a little pumpkin paste until it can be stirred into a flocculent shape. This mixing makes it easier to knead the dough later and make it easy to make the dough "three light"
5.
Start to knead the fluffy flour into a rough dough shape with your hands, cover with a damp cloth and wake up for 5 minutes
6.
After five minutes, knead a few times in the basin, wipe the edge of the basin with the dough, then take it out and place it on the panel and push it with the root of the palm and knead it repeatedly, so that the dough is easy to knead evenly and smoothly, and then put it in the basin, see, yes Not Sanguang
7.
Then cover the mouth of the pot with plastic wrap and place it in a warm place to allow the dough to ferment properly! Fermentation, temperature is very important. If it is too cold, you can wrap it in a bed and put a hot water bottle next to the basin. There are many ways to do it.
8.
Let's use the same method to make purple sweet potato dough again! Note that the amount of pumpkin paste and purple potato paste I gave you is just a reference, I will increase or decrease appropriately during the process of making noodles.
9.
I won’t talk about the original color dough in these four colors. The red dough is when the flour is ready, add sugar, 4 grams of red yeast rice powder, 4 grams of yeast powder, and then add an appropriate amount of water to form a dough. It is said that the amount of purple sweet potato, pumpkin and red yeast rice powder will have different effects on the color of your dough. If you like darker, add more, and if you like lighter, add less.
10.
After a few hours, I finally waited for these lovely doughs to become fat guys. Tap with your fingers to make them double their original size without collapsing. Just pick up the honeycomb holes in the dough.
11.
Take out the dough of various colors and place it on the panel, add a little flour to knead and knead to exhaust, then randomly mix 120 grams of each of the three colors of dough you like, and then roll it into a dough sheet after kneading it into a ball. Wrap a proper amount of red bean paste and knead it into a bun shape. Red bean paste can be made by yourself. After you make it, you need to knead it into a ball for later use. If you don’t like red bean paste, you can also replace it with jam. It’s also delicious, but beginners don’t need to wrap the filling first Practice method
12.
Put the two noodles on top of each other, then put the bun in the center and wrap it like a bun filling
13.
Wrapped into a bun shape, this is a different color matching package, the outer two layers are primary color, pumpkin color, and the center is purple potato color.
14.
Flatten the bun gently and roll it into slices. Don't roll it too thin, otherwise the stuffing inside will smash your teeth, you know. Note that before making cut flowers, put them on a silicone pad or on greased paper with holes, otherwise the cut flowers will be easily damaged if they are moved later.
15.
Find a smaller cup or circle, and lightly press a circle in the middle of the dough to make a mark. Don't try hard! Then use a knife to cut out the word rice, pay attention to the middle circle can not be cut, this is eight equal parts
16.
Then divide each equal part into three equally, that is, lightly press two impressions in the middle of each part
17.
Then pinch the two corners together to form a petal
18.
Use the same method to make the other petals, the flower heart can be decorated at will
19.
Come to another cut flower, divide it into several equal parts, and then twist each piece in the same direction.
20.
Put the finished product in a steamer with a moderate amount of warm water (not too hot), cover the pot and let it ferment for about 20 minutes, then turn on high heat and steam for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat. Do not open the lid immediately and wait for three minutes. Then open the lid and take out the Hua Mantou. The recipe in this recipe must not be steamed with boiling water.
21.
The steamed finished product is served with purple potato paste for breakfast, which is a good meal, and the mood will be beautiful when you look at such steamed buns.
22.
From another angle and background, it's still so beautiful

Tips:
1. A variety of colors, because the amount of purple sweet potato, pumpkin, red yeast rice powder will have different effects on the color of your dough, if you like darker, add more, and if you like lighter, add less
2. If you don’t want to make too much at a time, you can only make 200 grams of flour of each color and 2 grams of yeast powder. If you don’t like sugar, you can leave it alone. For the original color, you can also use milk instead of water and noodles.
3. Due to the influence of different flours and ingredients, the quantity of some ingredients cannot be given a definite number. You can only refer to yourself in the process of making noodles and use it flexibly and appropriately.
4. Color matching is arbitrary
5. If you want to knead the noodles and three light, pay attention to the basin must be dry, add water in stages according to the state of the noodles, chopsticks along the side to stir in a circular motion, about five or six minutes after kneading the dough, and then continue to knead it will be very good. Will also make the dough very smooth
6. It can be steamed with warm water at a slight temperature. After steaming, do not open the lid immediately. Wait three minutes and then open the lid to take out the Huamantou. The recipe uses yeast powder and must not be steamed with boiling water.
