Tips:
Windy sunny day:
1. The black sesame steamed bun is the same as the perfect white steamed bun introduced earlier. It uses the one-time fermentation method, which means that the dough undergoes only one fermentation after it is formed, which is a simple and fast production method;
2. The standard for kneading the dough is "three light", that is, the dough is light, hand light, and pot light, but the kneading of the dough should be smoother than the "three light" state, so that the finished product can be more detailed and smooth.
3. Divide the dough as evenly as possible, if the size is different, it will affect the steaming effect;
4. The fermentation process will be affected by the indoor temperature and the size of the dough, so the fermentation time is for reference only, and it is better to visually increase the appearance by at least 1.5 times;
5. Steaming should start with cold water, medium to high heat, when the water in the pot is boiling, when steam comes out of the pot, it takes about 15 minutes to start timing, depending on the size and number of steamed buns, the time should be increased or decreased appropriately;
6. After steaming, turn off the heat, but not immediately open the lid. Wait 3-5 minutes before opening the lid, otherwise the skin of the steamed bun will become crumpled due to the rapid temperature change. After the steamed buns, lightly press the outer skin with your hands to have elasticity.
