Steamed Egg Bread: Extra Fluffiness from Added Baking Soda

Steamed bread

This time, I added 2g of baking soda to my usual steamed egg bread recipe. I wanted to see if the combination of baking powder and baking soda would improve the rise.

As I hoped, the finished bread was soft and fluffy. However, it tasted a bit saltier than my usual steamed egg bread, probably because I used too much baking soda. 2g of baking soda might have been too much for a recipe with only about 50g of flour.

Steamed Egg Bread Recipe: Instructions

(1) I mixed one whole egg, 25g of milk, 15g of oil, and 50g of sugar with a hand mixer for about 2 minutes.

(2) To the mixture from (1), I added 50g of flour, 2g of baking powder, and 2g of baking soda, and stirred until there were no lumps of flour left.

(3) I poured the mixture from (2) into a mold with paper cups for lunch boxes and steamed it in a boiling pot (I wrapped the lid of the pot with a towel to simulate a steamer) for about 15 minutes.

(4) The finished product was as expected, with a wonderfully soft and fluffy texture. However, the flavor was a bit saltier than my usual steamed egg bread, which might be because I used too much baking soda. 2g of baking soda might be too much for a recipe with only about 50g of flour.
