Tips:
This method is first shaped and then fermented. When fermenting, the water temperature in the steamer is about 40 degrees. If there is no thermometer, it can be slightly hot to touch. If fermented, steam it directly without changing the water.
The dough must be kneaded in place, which is the key to the smooth surface of the finished product and the firmness of the inside.
Don't open the lid immediately after steaming. The instant temperature difference will cause the surface to dent. Open the lid every 3-5 minutes.
