In Wenxi, Hua Mao has entered the business. If it's useful for daily use, you can order it at the steamed stuffed bun shop. Beiyuan noodles are used to make steamed buns. Beiyuan noodles are white, compact and tough, which is closely related to the wheat quality in Beiyuan (high terrain, long wheat growth cycle and sufficient light) and Wenxi's bulkiness and kneading. Beiyuan steamed buns are fermented with flour, not baking powder or alkaline flour. Flour fermentation is made of corn flour, which is extremely difficult, and the scale and links of the process are very subtle. The flour fermentation system is not good, and steamed bread can't be made. This is especially true when making steamed buns. If you knead dough, the flour used for steamed bread should be refined flour, which is more demanding than ordinary steamed bread and should be screened with the finest flour basket. Stir fermented sufu and flour, add water and knead dough for at least eight times. Knead dough should be bright and elastic. Mix the dough with proper amount of vinegar to make steamed bread white and smooth; Mixed with sugar water, milk and honey, steamed bread is not easy to dry except sweet, and has a long shelf life, and the taste of wheat will not be affected.
