How to make dough soft without yeast?

1. Without yeast, we can use an indigenous method, that is, add some beer or rice wine with warm water, add sugar, and then pour it into flour to stir and knead it into dough. The steamed bread made in this way is also soft in taste, but it should be noted that the flour cannot be gelatinized for too long to avoid sour taste or the steamed bread is not soft enough.

2. In China, there are great differences in eating habits in different regions. For example, the staple food in the south is basically rice, while in the north it is more pasta and steamed bread. Steamed bread is simple to make and rich in taste, but yeast powder is often used when kneading dough, which will be a headache if there are not many people.
