Milk-Flavored Purple Sweet Potato Buns (Single Fermentation)
A healthier, more nutritious, and visually appealing milk-flavored bun created by combining nutrient-rich purple sweet potatoes with the rich aroma of European butter.
Ingredients
Steps
Prepare the butter, purple sweet potato, flour, yeast, milk, and sugar (optional).
Mash the steamed purple sweet potato into a fine texture and let it cool to hand temperature. Add it to the mixing bowl along with the butter.
Add dry yeast and mix well.
Add sugar and flour, and mix evenly.
Thoroughly knead the flour and purple sweet potato together. This will also make the sweet potato smoother.
Gradually add milk (adjust the amount based on the moisture content of the sweet potatoes and flour) until a crumbly texture forms.
Knead into a moderately soft dough and continue kneading until smooth and fine. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
Knead thoroughly again, then shape into your preferred forms.
Add an appropriate amount of water to the steamer, place the purple sweet potato buns inside, and cover with the lid to ferment. Let them double in size (fermentation time may vary depending on room temperature).
After fermentation, turn the stove to medium heat. Once the water boils and steam rises, steam for 15 minutes, then let it sit for 3-5 minutes before uncovering. The faint milky aroma mixed with the fragrance of purple sweet potato and the vibrant colors make for a beautiful, delicious treat ✌️✌️✌️.
Soft and delicious!
