Children always don't eat vegetables. So I beat amaranth into juice and flour to make steamed bread and flower rolls. A pot. Aroma overflowing. Soft and chewy. Children like it very much. -
Step1:Pick out the amaranth core. It's the green part of the end of the dish. Or the tender leaves. I grow a lot in my family. So I always pick those green and tender amaranth to eat. Soak the vegetable core in water for 20 minutes.
Step2:Take out the vegetables after soaking. Put them into the cooking machine. Add half a bowl of water. Use the cooking machine to stir the amaranth into the vegetable juice. Pour them into the bowl.
Step3:Add baking soda to amaranth juice. Baking soda can keep the color of amaranth. Keep the dough color after steaming.
Step4:The yeast powder is first boiled in a bowl with a little warm water. Add flour in the container. Add sugar on one end of the flour and salt on the other end. Then slowly add amaranth juice at the same time. At the same time, stir with chopsticks. Mix into floccules and then knead the flour by hand.
Step5:Knead for about 15 minutes. Knead until the dough is smooth.
Step6:Cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap to let the dough ferment. It's fine. I'll put the dough in the sun and cover it with a wet cloth or plastic wrap to make it ferment. About an hour or a half of fermentation.
Step7:Press the dough. If it doesn't retract or collapse, it will ferment. The fully fermented dough is fluffy and full of fragrance. At this time, give the dough enough air and then knead it into a smooth dough.
Step8:Take a big dough and roll it with a rolling pin. Then fold it up and down to form a long strip.
Step9:That's what folding is like. Cut into pieces with a scraper.
Step10:That's how the dough is cut by the scraper. It's well arranged.
Step11:Use a chopstick to press down from the middle. After pressing, slowly take out the chopsticks. Hold the two ends of the dough with both hands. Then knead down. Just pinch the intersection of the two sides.
Step12:It's just like this. There are other shapes you can try.
Step13:Put the shape on the steamer. Put water in the pot. Put cold water on the pot. Start timing after the water is boiled. Steam for ten minutes. Turn off the fire. Let the flower roll steam in the pot for another five minutes and then uncoil the pot.
Step14:The fragrant amaranth juice is out of the pot.
