My neighbor, Grandma Li, is an elderly person who lives alone. She doesn’t cook much, and her son usually orders takeout. Sometimes the son is busy and forgets, and sometimes the takeout is delayed, so the old lady has to go downstairs and buy some steamed buns to cushion the meal. She likes to eat bean paste rolls the most, but due to various reasons, the breakfast shops nearby have closed down, and there is nowhere to buy them. It was not easy to see her alone, so I taught her the simplest way to make bean paste rolls. Just remember a few main steps to make soft and sweet bean paste rolls that won't harden after a long time. Today I will share with you the specific method. Friends who like it can give it a try.

How to make bean paste rolls?

The bean paste rolls I shared today are steamed with all-purpose flour, baking powder and a steamer, not baked in an oven. The preparation of this kind of bean paste roll is simpler than baking it in the oven. It is easy for the elderly to remember the steps and they can make it after seeing it.

(1) First we need to prepare 300 grams of all-purpose flour and put it into a water-free container.

(2) Take a bowl and add about 220 grams of warm water. Add 2 grams of baking powder and stir evenly.

(3) Pour a small amount of water into the flour several times, then add 2 grams of salt, 1 teaspoon of lard, and 2 grams of sugar, while stirring. When the flour is mixed into cotton wool, do not add water and start kneading it into a smooth dough.

Tips: It’s very simple for people who often meet face-to-face. Friends who haven’t done so need to pay attention to a few points. First mix the dough with warm water. Warm water can promote the fermentation of yeast and shorten the fermentation time. Next, you need to add salt, sugar, and lard, which can make the dough stronger, speed up fermentation, and make the buns white. Finally, we must remember to cover it with plastic wrap or other things to prevent the surface of the dough from drying out.

How long does it take for the dough to ferment?

In what state does the dough ferment to be considered successful? If the time is too long, the dough will become sour. If the time is too short, the dough will not rise well and the steamed dough will not be soft enough. You can judge from the following aspects, so you don’t have to worry in the future.

(1) The dough will ferment to twice the size . During the fermentation process, the yeast will produce gas, causing the dough to expand. Generally, the dough is ready when it expands to twice its original volume.

(2) pull the dough apart, and check whether the inside is cotton-like or honeycomb-shaped.

(3) Look at the pores on the surface of the dough . Generally, the surface of fermented dough will be densely distributed with large and small pores.

(4) The fermentation time in summer is shorter than that of in winter. The temperature is high in summer, and it usually takes about 30 minutes to ferment. In winter, when the temperature is low, it takes about 3 hours. Sometimes in order to promote fermentation, we need to put it on top of warm water. How to make dough into bean paste rolls in

I always thought that it was difficult to make the bean paste roll shape, but in fact it just requires a little more steps. Just be patient and take it step by step, and you'll be done in a few minutes.

(1) Sprinkle some flour on the cutting board, take out the dough, knead for a while to release the air. Divide the dough into smaller pieces of similar size and knead slightly.

(2) We take out the bean paste and knead it into a round shape. Press the dough with your hands to form a thicker cake. Wrap the bean paste filling in the cake and close it like a Bao Baozi. Place it on the chopping board and roll it into a ox tongue shape with a rolling pin.

(3) Fold the ox tongue-shaped dough in half and cut it with a knife. Be careful not to cut it off, just make sure the width of each strip is about the same.

(4) Make each noodle into a curved state like twisting a twist. Remember to press each noodle after twisting it to prevent retraction. After twisting everything, roll the uncut end down, so that the raw embryo of a bean paste roll is ready.

(5) After all the bean paste roll embryos are ready, we use both hands to squeeze both ends of the bean paste roll inward to prevent them from spreading.

How to steam bean paste rolls?

After making the bean paste roll embryo, do not put it directly into the pot and steam it, otherwise the dough will not rise. Pay attention to a few tips to make the bean paste rolls fluffy and soft without shrinking.

(1) After the bean paste roll embryo is ready, cover it with plastic wrap and continue to rise for 10-15 minutes. After it has risen, the bean paste rolls will be soft and chewy.

(2) We brush the steamer with a layer of oil to prevent it from sticking. When the bean paste roll embryo becomes light, put it into the pot. Steam over high heat for 10-12 minutes without uncovering the lid.

(3) After waiting for 10-12 minutes, turn off the heat and continue to simmer for 3-5 minutes. Open the lid and the fragrant bean paste rolls are ready.

Tips: Whether it is making steamed buns, steamed buns, flower rolls or other dough-made foods, the texture will be soft and soft after the second proofing. The steaming time also varies depending on the heat and is not fixed. Don't open the pot immediately after turning off the heat, because the steamed buns will shrink according to the principle of expansion and contraction. We waited a few minutes before opening the pot. The bean paste rolls were soft and chewy and did not get hard after being left for a long time.

Tips: Generally when making steamed buns, Hanamaki, etc., we can add pumpkin, purple sweet potato, etc. to increase nutrition. You can use pure milk instead of water when making noodles, or add 1 egg white.

Conclusion: Making pasta may seem complicated, but in fact, if you master the skill of making noodles and do it several times, you will be able to have any delicious pasta at your fingertips.
