Mix them with flour, yeast, and water. Add the purple sweet potato water little by little until the dough is smooth. To avoid sticking, I used the kneading function of the bread machine, which worked great.

Ferment the dough at 40 degrees until it doubles in size, then shape it. Divide the dough into six portions, take one portion, and further divide it into six small pieces. Roll out five small pieces into evenly thin round slices, and shape one into an olive shape.

Cooking Tips

1. The water quantity in my recipe is a bit much, so it was quite sticky, and I had to keep adding flour. 2. After shaping, let the buns rest for a while to relax the dough. 3. When steaming, start with low heat, then switch to high heat after steam appears.
