How to make longevity peach in pastry?

1. Introduction: Shou Tao: The dough-made Shou Tao used for celebrating birthdays is actually to make raw steamed buns into a peach shape, steam them in a steamer and then paint them with food colors. Making them at home is not complicated at all, as long as you know how to steam steamed buns. Shoudao, let me teach you how to make Shoudao noodles at home in 5 steps that look just like the real thing.

2. Production method:

1. The first step is to knead the dough first. Whether it is high or low gluten, as long as it is white flour, listen up. For 1 pounds of white flour, add 5g yeast powder, add 20g white sugar, and use 250g warm water. In summer, just use tap water. , knead it into a dough, and knead it for a while. There should be no lumps in the dough, and it should be smooth and not stick to the pot. The kneaded dough should rest for about 5 minutes. When you press the small pit of the dough with your finger, it will spring up immediately and it will be ready. ,

2. In the second step, knead the dry noodles, weigh 80g of white flour, and dry knead it into the dough. Move quickly and try to knead all the dry noodles into the dough. Pay attention to kneading and moistening the dough of the dry noodles. The surface must be smooth and there should be no dry surface inside.

3. Next, in the third step, divide the kneaded dough into 260g pieces each. Don’t stop. Knead the divided dough pieces into pointy jujube pit-shaped green bodies. The dough should be thinner and there should be no spots on the surface. The wrinkles should be hidden at the bottom of the green body, and the surface must be smooth. The next thing to do is to carefully and gently hold the kneaded green body in the palm of your left hand. Take a knife in your right hand and use the back of the knife to chrome out a shallow layer on the green body. The groove should be from the tip to the bottom.

4. After the green body has been chromed, it’s time to proceed to the fourth step. Steam it in a pot with cold water. No need to simmer it. Place the green body and steam it directly. Steam for 25 minutes starting from the time the pot is turned on. Turn off the heat when it reaches the point. Open the cover, which is more laborious at this time. Take out the longevity peach while it's still hot, and use the back of a knife to repeatedly press on the original groove mark to finalize it.

5. When the white peach is cool, proceed to the fifth step to color the peach. Prepare pink food color, dip a toothbrush in a small amount of food color, take a chopstick and gently fiddle with the bristles of the toothbrush. Eject the food color evenly onto the surface of the peach, from light to dark, until you are satisfied.

Method Two:

Ingredients: 500 grams of flour, 6 grams of yeast, 5 grams of baking powder, 20 grams of sugar, 100 grams of bean paste, a little food coloring, a clean toothbrush, and a pair of chopsticks.

step:

1. Add yeast, baking powder, sugar and appropriate amount of warm water to the flour and knead it into noodles. Let it rise for half an hour and knead the dough again. Rub the strips and apply the dosage. According to the method shown in the picture, your right hand is downward, pressing and pushing forward. With your left hand, roll the excess dough inward, and then press forward with your right hand. After repeated several times with both hands, the surface of the dough will tighten, like kneading. Like steamed buns, slowly roll it into a round shape, make a nest with your hands, and wrap it with bean paste filling.

2. After wrapping, use both hands to rub out a peach tip. Then use the back of a knife to press out the peach shape. After proofing for a while, if the temperature is low, the proofing time will be longer; otherwise, put it in a steamer and steam it until cooked.

3. Let the steamed longevity peaches dry for a while. Dip a clean toothbrush into edible red pigmented water, aim at the longevity peaches, and use chopsticks to move the toothbrush upward from the bottom of the toothbrush, so that the pigment on the toothbrush rebounds to the longevity peaches. There needs to be very little pigmented water on the toothbrush to pop out mist-like water droplets.
