Youtiao - Chinese Fried Bread
I wanted to eat Youtiao! But since I can't easily get my hands on them, I decided to try making them. I compared various recipes there were many different variations like; using Ammonium bicarbonate, and leaving it to rest over night, but I wanted to make something that was easy to make with a leavening agent I had in my house.
In step 3, the dough will still be a bit rough and a bit hard but that is okay. Make sure to let the dough rest properly and and it will become very elastic. I also made soy milk soupto go with this, but my husband eats it as is. Recipe by kiwicafe

Fold the dough into thirds and shape it into a rectangular shape. Place it on a baking tray coated in vegetable oil, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it sit overnight in the refrigerator.

Once the dough has returned to room temperature, gently roll it out, divide into 8 portions and knead each into 2 pieces.

This is a recipe for fried bread that is used to make Indian Tacos. This is a yeast version. I revised a recipe that my mother-in-law gave me into easy to make measurements.-The moisture of the dough may vary depending on the type of flour used and the humidity, so adjust accordingly.-The dough should be just a little bit softer than your earlobe.-I used the rapid rise type of yeast that can be used instantly after mixed with the flour.

Chewy Steamed Bread Chewy Steamed Bread
I had leftover snow cone syrup and leftover pumpkin paste and wondered if I could use these up in the steamed bread.It is hard to mix the mayonnaise and water, so I recommend adding a small amount of water at a time. Personally, I mix them all at once even though it is hard to do. Either ways would make the bread fluffy and chewy. Also, you will not taste the mayonnaise at all, so don't worry.

Chewy Steamed Bread with Pancake Mix & Bread Flour Chewy Steamed Bread with Pancake Mix & Bread Flour
I really wanted to eat some chewy steamed bread but when I tried to make it with shiratamako, it just wouldn't mix.I should use it for dango instead, so I tried with bread flour and it went quite well.・Pancake mix is a little sweet, whereas rice flour is not, so it needs a bit more sugar than the recipes that use 100% pancake mix.・These have a really light taste so they go well with jam or something similar.

Puffy Steamed Bread Puffy Steamed Bread
I wanted to create a recipe for a snack I could make easily with my children.Just mix it up and steam.If using a frying pan to steam the bread, use a deep one so that the tops of the puffed up bread won't get stuck to the kitchen towel.If you're using regular or extra-rich milk, I think you can increase it to 160 ml.

Chewy and Fluffy Steamed Bread Chewy and Fluffy Steamed Bread
I used to make carrot steamed bread as baby food for my eldest daughter when she was young. I was using pancake mix everyday but now I use cake flour to save money. The photo shows the ones with soy milk and brown sugar.In Step 4, make sure the kitchen towel (to prevent water dripping onto the bread) is tightly wrung or it will touch the bread. For those using a gas range, pay extra attention. If you are using shallow ramekins, I suggest using a steamer rack (available at 100 yen shops). Using ramekins works best and helps the bread to expand fully.I made them less sweet so adjust to taste.It would be great if you could let me what way you decide to make these. Recipe by Genkimaria
