Bowknot🎀 Bread

Cute and lovable bowknot bread, the method is actually very simple. The recipe makes ten small breads. Added another style of bowknot🎀 bread. I didn't expect the recipe to become so popular before; I just thought it was an ordinary small bread. It turns out everyone has a girly side and loves soft, cute food. For matcha powder, search 'French Sweet Art' on Taobao and mention 'Lei Lei' for a surprise. I used 'Ruo Zhu'.
