Steamed bread

Steamed egg bread made with olive oil. It has a strong olive aroma.

Today, I tried making steamed egg bread using olive oil. The finished product had a strong olive oil flavor, and I couldn't really taste the egg. Also, by using just a pinch of baking soda, it seemed to prevent it from rising too much. Olive […]

Steamed egg bread. The soy milk amount was too much, so it shrunk a bit.

Today, I tried making steamed egg muffins using baking soda. When they were done, I realized I had added too much soy milk halfway through, which caused the muffins to shrink significantly. When I broke one open, the top was also a bit damp, indicating that too much moisture prevents them from becoming fluffy […]

Steamed cheese bread. I added too much baking soda and it puffed up too much.

Today, I tried making steamed cheese bread. Since I didn't have baking powder, I used baking soda (half the amount of baking powder). The finished product was too puffy because I used too much baking soda. The taste and texture were fluffy steamed cheese bread […]

Lemon Steamed Cheese Bread: 5g of Lemon Juice Adds Only Scent

This time, I tried adding a small amount of lemon juice (5g) to the steamed cheese bread. The result was that, perhaps because there was too little lemon juice, it only had a lemon scent and almost no flavor. Also, to prevent the bread from becoming sticky due to the added juice, I increased the amount of flour. However, it seems I added too much, and the texture of the steamed bread ended up a bit dry and crumbly. […]

Steamed Cheese Bread 5: A Stronger Cheese Flavor and Lighter Texture with 35g Cheese

This is my fifth time making steamed cheese bread. This time, I increased the amount of cheese by 10g compared to the fourth attempt. The finished product had a puffy surface and an even stronger cheese flavor. The texture was also lighter than the fourth attempt. It seems that by increasing the amount of natural cheese, I can get closer to the taste of commercially available steamed cheese bread. […]

Steamed Cheese Bread 4: Using 15g Milk, 10g Oil, and 25g Cheese for a Puffy Top

This is my fourth time making steamed cheese bread. In my previous attempts, using ingredient ratios that worked well for things like steamed black tea bread, the surface of the bread came out bumpy. So, I decided to revise the ingredient ratios. The final result had a puffy, pleasant-looking surface. It seems that too much moisture might cause the bumpy texture. […]

Steamed Cheese Bread 2: A Second Attempt with a Different Pot, Same Result

This time, I tried making steamed cheese bread again, but with a different pot (steamer). Since I changed the pot, I checked on it frequently while steaming (opening the lid at 10, 13, and 15 minutes), but the finished product was the same as the last time. […]

Steamed Cheese Bread: Getting a Cheesy Flavor from Natural Cheese

This time, I made steamed cheese bread. The finished product had a cheesy flavor. Since I used natural cheese instead of cream cheese, the cheese flavor wasn't as strong as in store-bought versions. […]

Steamed bread with black beans and brown sugar. It has a dark appearance and a kinako (roasted soybean flour) flavor.

I made steamed bread with black beans and brown sugar powder. This time, I added 5g of black bean and brown sugar powder.   The finished product had a dark appearance and a slight kinako (roasted soybean flour) flavor. I feel like if I add a little more powder, the flavor will become more pronounced. […]

Chinese-style steamed bun 3. Shrunk a lot, not enough steaming time?

This is my third time making Chinese-style steamed buns (with soy sauce and baking soda). This time, to make the flavor richer, I reduced the amount of flour (from 50g to 40g). The finished product had a richer flavor than last time, but perhaps because I reduced the amount of flour, or when steaming […]
