You Can Make Buns without Making Noodles

1. Pour the low-flour, baking powder, and lard into the mixing bucket (the same is true for noodles without a robot). Mix the yeast and white sugar with 2/3 of the water and melt them into the bucket. Add the remaining water according to the degree of absorption of the flour and knead until it is smooth and not sticky.

2. This step is very important! Use a noodle pressing machine (the manual noodle pressing machine I bought is 40 yuan) repeatedly until the edges of the noodles are not jagged, about 5-6 times! The steamed buns made from such pressed noodles have a super soft texture. (If you don't have a noodle press, you can use a rolling pin to press it a little bit, the process is a bit tiring)

3. Smooth edges

4. The pressed noodles are wrapped in rolls

5. According to the size of the bun you are going to make

6. I made Xiaolongbao, so one is about 15g

7. Stuffing For the pork stuffing made with Mei Cai this time, wash the Mei Cai and chop the pork into small cubes (half fat and thin) and stir evenly; heat the pot, add the garlic and ginger, pour the garlic and ginger into the filling and fry until fragrant.

8. When rolling the skin, the thick side should be thin in the middle, so that the bottom of the bun will not be exposed, and the surface of the bun will not be too thick.

9. Encrusting

10. Because there is a lot of oil, I left a small mouth

11. Filling semi-finished products

12. The point is here. The key to success or failure is that the pot has been boiled at about 40 degrees and the humidity is 60. It feels like the water is starting to steam. Turn off the heat, and put the buns in the steaming compartment

13. The steamed dumplings are about 20-25 minutes (how to know if the fermentation is good, that is, when the time comes, hand stick some water and gently pinch the surface of the steamed buns. If there is a soft stickiness, it will be almost the same), then steam for 6 minutes on high heat. The raw meat is steamed for 10 minutes

Tips:

The formula 500g low-gluten flour can make about 40 or so, if you are afraid of making too much, you can reduce it by half, and think you can reduce it by half and then half.
