It is 6 times more nutritious than apples and 4 times more nutritious than grapes, so steamed and sweet and delicious, better than bread!
In May in Shandong, there is a very nutritious fruit on the market, not cherries, not strawberries, but mulberries that many people do not often eat. Mulberries are very nutritious, higher than apples, the king of fruits, and must not be missed during the mulberry season.
Many people only know that fruits can only be eaten directly, but they did not expect that they could be made into a staple food. Mulberries taste sweet and juicy, not easy to store, in the mulberry season, there are very few sold on the street, go to the mulberry forest to pick yourself, but you can pick a lot, without spending a penny. In our local area, there is a large mulberry forest by the river, and every spring when we arrive, we will pick mulberry sprouts to eat, in summer, we will pick mulberries to make various delicacies, and after autumn, we will pick up fallen frost mulberry leaves and go home to make mulberry leaf tea. Now is the season when mulberries are on the market, go to pick them early in the morning and make the steamed buns we often eat, but I didn't expect it to be better than bread, so try it if you like it!
Ingredients used: 700 grams of flour, 1 pound of mulberries, 20 grams of milk powder, a little sugar, 1 egg, 3 grams of yeast powder.
Practical steps:
Step 1: The picture above is that the ripe mulberries are hung all over the branches, and the small mulberries are very troublesome to pick, so there are relatively few mulberries for sale, because picking is too time-consuming. Don't underestimate a small mulberry, known as "the best health fruit of the 21st century" and "folk sacred fruit", etc., the special growth environment of mulberry trees makes mulberry fruit have natural growth, without any pollution, and the nutritional value is very high, can nourish yin and blood, nourish and moisturize, nourish liver and kidney, etc., and also have the effect of laxative and detoxification. Don't miss out on this season, pick some casually to make a different delicacy.
Step 2: Pick the mulberries home and clean them, it is best to add a little salt and flour to soak for a while when washing, and rinse them well, so that the dust on the surface of the mulberries can be fully cleaned.
Step 3: Add a little white sugar or rock sugar to the mulberries, beat into a fine mulberry puree, do not add a drop of water.
Step 4: Pour the mulberry puree into a basin, add yeast powder, 700 grams of flour about 3 grams of yeast powder is enough.
Step 5: Add the flour and stir well by hand, then add the milk powder and mix well.
Step 6: Mix into a slightly firmer dough, cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm place, and rise until honeycomb.
Step 7: Knead the fermented dough well, then roll into small dough of the same size. There is no baking soda and other things to prevent oxidation in the mulberry puree, and it will oxidize when it is directly fermented, and the color is not as good as at the beginning, and some are black and red.
Step 8: Knead, knead into a circle, sort out into the shape of a steamed bun, put it in a warm place, cover with a damp cloth for secondary fermentation to 1.5~2 times, you can prepare to steam in the pot.
Step 9: Put cold water in the pot, smear the grate with vegetable oil to prevent sticking, put the two good steamed buns, steam for 25 minutes on high heat, turn off the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, open the lid and come out of the pot. Finally, simmer for these 5 minutes to prevent the steamed bun from shrinking and collapsing, do not ignore it.
Step 10: So that the mulberry steamed bun is ready, sweet and delicious and very delicious, better than bread, try it quickly!
