1. Knead the white and purple dough into long strips and cut it into small pieces. The purple piece is slightly smaller than the white piece, which makes the edge of the flower layered.

2. Rub the two colors into balls and roll them into a circle (you can also use two cups, one large and one small, to press the dough into a circle with the cup mouth), and put the white dough under the purple.

3. Cut the dough into a cross shape with a knife (it needs to be cut to the bottom) and divide it into 4 equal parts.

4. Press the cut dough into patterns with a clean comb.

5. Fold the pressed eight patterns one by one, and then press them hard with chopsticks.

6. Note here that you should start with the dough laid on the bottom and roll it up slowly from top to bottom.

7. Finally, cut a knife from the middle of the rolled dough, then shape it slightly and turn it into a flower. Is it simple?

The origin of steamed bread

Steamed bread, called "steamed bread" in ancient times, is not called "steamed bread" or "steamed bread". Which is the original name of "steamed bread"? [3]? It is one of the traditional pasta in China, and it is a kind of food steamed with fermented flour. Steamed bread with wheat flour as the main raw material is one of the daily staple foods of China people.

Steamed bread originated from the head sacrifice in barbaric times and was invented by Zhuge Liang during Meng Huo's expedition. It's shaped like a head, and then gradually turned into poultry stuffing with the development of history. However, the history of China people eating steamed bread can be traced back at least to the Warring States period, when it was called "steamed cake".

During the Three Kingdoms period, steamed bread had its own official name, called "Tou Man". In the Ming Dynasty, Lang Ying wrote in "Seven Drafts": "The real name of steamed bread is Tou Man, which worships the gods with the head. Zhuge Zhi recruited Meng Huo, and ordered that "Tou Man" took bread and meat as its head, and now it is steamed bread. "
