1. Add 1 kg common flour, 3 g yeast powder and 10 g white sugar into a bowl to promote fermentation, stir evenly, mix the flour with a proper amount of warm water until there is no dry flour, knead it into dough, and cover it with plastic wrap to make it twice as large.

2. Sprinkle a little dry flour on the panel, take out the dough, knead the dough for 5 minutes, knead the dough back to its original size, knead it directly into long strips, and then make it into equal parts.

3. Then each small dose is rounded separately, and then kneaded into a thumb-thick strip with a length of about 20 cm. Then press it into the shape of a flower with a knife. After pressing one side, press in turn and cross. Then flatten the two ends of the strip and cut it with a small knife a few times. After all the ends are cut off, put red dates and roll both ends in the middle, and the green body is ready, which is particularly simple and beautiful.

4. Make another flower shape, first knead the dough into a long strip, then roll it in the opposite direction from both sides, then put it in the middle with chopsticks, cut the four sides after clamping, and put a red date in the middle to make a green body.

5. Take another dough, knead it into a long strip, press the pattern with a knife, then press it in the opposite direction, and finally roll it from one side to the other, and knead it on the back after rolling it up, so that the flower buns made are more beautiful. After kneading, put red dates in turn, so that a green blank is ready. These kinds of jujube buns have been made, which are particularly beautiful. Cover them with a cage cloth and wake up 10 minutes. At that time, you will see that the volume is obviously larger, and all the light ones in your hand are ready.

6. Put it in a steamer and leave a little space when it is placed, because it will expand and become bigger during steaming. Put the steamed buns directly on the pot with cold water. After the fire boils, turn to medium heat for 20 minutes, then turn off the fire and simmer for 5 minutes.

2. after steaming, simmer in the pot for about 5 minutes, so that the bud will not collapse. Don't stew for too long, the steamed stuffed bun will stick to the grate.
