Hand-kneaded water-light muscle buns
⭕ Material:
Medium gluten flour 500 g
Water 270 g (30 °C warm water)
Yeast 5 g
Sugar 10 g
Lard 10 g
⭕ Practice:
Put all the materials together and stir them with chopsticks to form dough flocks, then knead them into a ball (not smooth), cover them with plastic wrap and proof them for 10 minutes (the ball will become very soft and easy to knead after standing), and then take them out to form a smooth dough, then knead them into long strips and evenly divide them into doses, and knead each dosage for about 30 times (so that a single dosage is easy to knead).
Put about 30 degrees water in the steamer (not too hot), put the steamed buns on and cover them and ferment for about 30-40 minutes (the volume of the steamed buns is 1.5-2 times that of the original, and it bounces slightly when pressed with your fingers). After fermentation, remove the steamer, then boil the water in the pot, then put the steamer on the pot and steam for about 12-15 minutes (if the steamed buns are relatively large, you have to extend the time appropriately).
⚠ Explain the difference between first shot and second shot:
One shot: It is a more time-saving and labor-saving method, eliminating the step of exhausting, and the finished product will basically be very smooth (the key is that each dosage should be rubbed in place after dividing the dosages). It is very suitable for novice operations, and it is also more suitable for Jimei people who are working. I usually It’s all done in one shot.
Second shot: It is time-consuming, and it is easy to overdo it (novices are afraid that they can’t grasp the fermentation time well), and the exhaust will be relatively laborious. If the kneading is not in place, the surface of the finished product will be bumpy. There is basically no difference between the taste of the first hair and the second hair. As long as the first hair is kneaded in place after the dosage is divided, the steamed buns will still be very soft, the dough ductility of the second hair will be better, and the aging speed will be relatively slow. There is no other difference.
⚠ Explain about steaming with cold water or steaming with boiling water:
It can be judged according to the proofing state of the steamed buns. If the steamed buns are fully fermented, then steamed in the pot after steaming on high fire. It is easier to control and suitable for novices. If the steamed buns are not fermented in place, then they are suitable for steaming in cold water, so that the steamed buns will continue to proof during the SAIC process, which is suitable for experienced friends.
⚠ Explain how big the buns should be:
The buns made by Xiaobian are relatively small (suitable for children). Generally, I will make 12 of 500 g (sometimes 24 of pure meat buns), so that when steaming, it will be just one pot or two pots. The size of the buns depends on personal preference. The medium buns on the market are generally 60 g-70 g. If the buns are bigger, the steaming time will be appropriately extended.
[Warm Tips]
When making Western-style pastries, commonly used cups and tablespoon/teaspoon are standard units of capacity, which are mainly used to measure the volume of ingredients, rather than directly expressing weight. To convert these capacities to grams (g), it needs to be calculated based on the density of the specific ingredient, because the weight of different ingredients varies greatly.
Here are the approximate weights of some common ingredients for reference:
Cup Weight Conversion
1 cup = about 240 milliliters (mL), but the grams depend on the ingredients:
all-purpose flour: 1 cup ≈ 120-130 g (depending on the degree of compaction)
granulated sugar: 1 cup ≈ 200 g
brown sugar: 1 cup ≈ 220 g (lightly pressed)
butter: 1 cup ≈ 227 g
milk: 1 cup ≈ 240 g
water: 1 cup ≈ 240 g
Spoon weight conversion
1 tablespoon (tablespoon, tbsp) = 15 ml
Flour: 1 tablespoon ≈ 8-10 g
White sugar: 1 tablespoon ≈ 12.5 g
Cream: 1 tablespoon ≈ 14 g
Water: 1 tablespoon ≈ 15 g
1 teaspoon (teaspoon, tsp) = 5 ml
Flour: 1 teaspoon ≈ 3-4 g
White sugar: 1 teaspoon ≈ 4 g
Salt: 1 teaspoon ≈ 6 g
vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon ≈ 5 g
Notes
Status of ingredients: For example, whether the flour is sifted and whether the sugar is compacted will affect the weight.
Precise measurement: If the recipe calls for precision, it is recommended to use an electronic scale to weigh directly, rather than relying entirely on cups or spoons.
Regional differences: This refers to the standard cup (240 mL) commonly used in the United States, other regions (such as Australia, 1 cup = 250 mL) may vary slightly.
