Why the buns in the north and the buns in the south? Why are steamed buns dry in the north and soft in the south?

Flour, fermentation degree and production technology all cause different tastes, and habit becomes nature.

The most obvious point is that due to the climate in the north and south, the gluten of flour itself is very different, and the steamed bread made of flour (gluten is different) in different regions is very different.

On the other hand, due to different eating habits, southerners prefer sweet ones. Therefore, ingredients such as sugar and milk are often added to steamed bread in the south, which also increases the taste difference of steamed bread.

Of course, more is probably the difference between habit and emotion. It is inevitable that you will feel uncomfortable when you change your habitual taste, and naturally you will feel "which is better".
