1. When making steamed buns, if the dough hasn't fermented properly, you can dig a small hole in the middle of the dough and pour in some white wine, let it sit for 10 minutes, and the dough will ferment.
2. When making steamed buns, add a little salt water to the flour to promote fermentation, and the steamed buns will be white and soft.
3. In winter, the indoor temperature is low, and the fermentation time is longer. If you add a little sugar to the dough during fermentation, it can shorten the fermentation time.
4. In the fermented dough, people often add an appropriate amount of alkaline agent to remove the sour taste. Check whether the amount of alkaline agent is suitable. You can cut a piece of dough with a knife, and if there are evenly sized sesame-sized holes on the surface, it means the amount of alkaline agent is appropriate.
5. If there is no yeast when fermenting, you can use honey instead, add 15-20g of honey to 500g of flour. After kneading the dough, just cover it with a damp cloth for 4-6 hours to start fermentation. Honey-fermented steamed buns are fluffy and fragrant, and have a sweet aftertaste.
