Detailed Steps for Cooking Simulated Banana Steamed Bun

Make the white dough by mixing 50g warm water, 3g yeast, and 5g sugar, and then adding 100g flour to knead into a smooth dough. Make the yellow skin by mixing 55g pumpkin puree, 2g yeast, and 5g sugar, and then adding 85g flour to knead into a smooth dough. Let the dough ferment until it doubles in size, then take out the fermented dough, deflate it, and roll it into a ball.

Roll each dough into a long strip and cut it into several equal parts.

Dissolve cocoa powder in a small amount of water. If you don’t have cocoa powder, you can use crushed Oreo cookies instead.

Roll the white dough into a small strip. The width of the dough should be similar to the thickness of your fingers. Don’t roll it too thick, otherwise the banana will be too fat after steaming.

Roll the yellow dough into an oval skin slightly longer than the white dough, and brush oil in the middle.

Place the white dough in the middle of the yellow skin. Brushing oil is to separate the two layers of skin, making it easier to peel off the “banana skin” after steaming.

Roll it up and pinch the ends tightly to form the head and tail of the banana. Use your hands to make the surface look more three-dimensional.

Use chopsticks to draw banana spots on the steamed bun.

Place the banana steamed buns in a steamer, let them ferment for 15 minutes, then turn on the heat. Steam them over medium-low heat for 15 minutes after the water boils, and let them sit for 2 minutes before uncovering the lid.

They look so real, don’t they?

Open one up, it looks pretty good.

You don’t need to peel it, just eat it with the skin! But be careful not to burn your mouth.

If you can’t finish them all at once, you can freeze them in the refrigerator and steam them again before eating within two weeks.
