It takes about four hours.

Steps of making steamed bread:

Don't use baking powder, it will taste bad and not delicious.

1, baking powder (I use angel's, which is not bad) is stirred with warm water (it will burn the activity if you can't use boiling water, but it won't open with cold water). It doesn't matter if baking powder is more or less, but it will affect the fermentation time.

2. Slowly pour the mixed water into the flour and start kneading. After the fermentation water is used up, use clear water, cold water in summer and warm water in winter. Be sure to remember that the dough should not be too hard, but soft;

3. Knead the dough evenly, cover it with a piece of wet gauze (sold in pharmacies), cover it, and then put it in a warmer place for quiet fermentation.

3. Generally, summer will be very short, 4 hours; Put it next to the heater in winter night and it will be fine the next day. One more thing: make sure the dough is fermented and fat!

4. Then you can start preparing steamed buns. Take out the fermented flour and put it on the chopping board. It may be sticky and sparse at this time. It doesn't matter. Add some dry flour and start kneading. Be sure to rub it for a while! ! After that, let it wake up for a while (just leave it there). Then you can shape it, but! That's the point. After kneading the steamed bread, be sure to put it there and let it wake up for a while, so that it will be empty when steaming. After waking up, put it on the steamer, add cold water to the pot, put the steamer in and start steaming! Don't wait for the water in the pot to boil before steaming steamed bread. This is my brilliant idea! ) Bring the fire to a boil and turn to medium heat for 40 minutes.

5, one more thing, it is best to buckle a heavy bowl on the lid of the pot when steaming, and try to make him run out of gas as little as possible!
