1. Combine the yeast and water.
2. Put the flour in a large basin and knead it with yeast water to form a smooth dough.
3. Cover the kneaded dough tightly and let it rest for 15 minutes.
4. After 15 minutes, take out the dough and knead it to flatten the air, and divide it into about 18 dough pieces. (Reserve two pasta seeds to make shiitake mushroom pedicles).
5. Prepare about 250 grams of sesame or red bean paste. (The filling is personally arbitrary).
6. Take a pasta and roll it into a thick round slice, and wrap it with an appropriate amount of sesame filling.
7. Pinch the mouth tightly and round it.
8. Wrap the rest of the dough into the filling and round it.
9. Roll the reserved pasta into the shape shown in the picture to make mushroom pedicles.
10. Add 8 grams of cocoa powder to 20 grams of water to make a cocoa paste.
11. Tuck all the raw embryos with fillings upside down and place them in a steamer at a distance. Use a brush to apply a layer of cocoa paste, no need to brush back and forth.
12. Brush all the raw embryos with cocoa powder and put them aside without covering the lid. Let them dry until the skin is cracked.
13. Put an appropriate amount of water on the pot and bring to a boil, put in the cracked raw buns and cover tightly. Steam over high heat for ten to fifteen minutes and then turn off the heat. Do not open the lid. Let it simmer for 5 minutes before opening the lid. (Shiitake mushroom stems can be steamed together in the gaps of the buns)
14. When the finished product is out of the pot, use chopsticks to poke a hole in the middle of the bun and insert the mushroom stem.
15. Here is another finished picture. Look ~ how cute the realistic shiitake mushroom buns are.
Tips:1: The filling can be changed at will according to personal preference, sesame filling is not necessary.
2: Dry the epidermis without covering it. Now the temperature is high and cracks will appear soon after drying.
3: You don't need to brush the cocoa powder back and forth, just brush one layer.
