Hello everyone, this is Gao.
Often, I am asked which brand flour I use in the video.
The most often, it is the Five Roses.
But the brand is not so important
today, I am using a different flour.
Also, I am using the most common yeast on the market
Add warm water.
mix it first, then knead it
You can knead it for 10 minutes to make it smooth now
Or you can let it rest for 15 minutes first
then come back to knead the dough
It will be much easier
add a little bit oil
Cover it and ferment for 1.5 hours
Now we will prepare some green onions
You can use them directly to make the rolls
But if you have some time
fry the green onions with oil first
The green onion fragrant will be stronger
When the green onions start turning color
remove from heat
cool it down
1.5 hours later,
The dough is ready
First step is removing the air inside
You can roll is out now,
but, at this stage
if you can further knead the dough
The steamed rolls will be more smooth
and inside structure will be softer.
The downside is
the gluten becomes tight, and it is hard to roll it out
That is OK. Cover it and rest it for 15 minutes
Come back to work on it.
Roll it into a flat sheet.
Don't roll it too thin.
Spread on the green onion oil.
Don't use too much
A thin layer is enough.
Fold it.
three folds.
Press is down
to remove the air bubbles inside
Spread the oil on the top
cut out a narrow strip
and a wider strip
lay the narrow on top of the wide
Use a chopstick to press in the middle
stretch lengthwise
turn around
twist it two times
With the help from another hand, press it down in the middle
Now you can see
It has formed a hemisphere shape
Make sure, you don't press too hard to break the dough
If you feel the gluten is too tight
can't form the hemisphere easily
rest it for 5 minutes, then come back
Since these buns are covered with oil
we can put the lid on to final proof them.
One hour later, start from cold water
Steam for 15 minutes, after water is boiling.
Wait until steam vapor disappeared, then open the lid.
Wow~ it's done!
The shape comes out very beautifully
with lots of layers.
Let's open one.
The green onions fragrant smells so good.
It is very soft and tender in the middle.
This is Gao.
Thanks for watching and see you next time.
