How To Creates 3D Steam Dough?
Steps 1/4 - Clean the raw materials of fruits and vegetables and cut them into small pieces, then use a juicer to beat them into a paste.
Steps 2/4 - This step is crucial. The fermentation of the dough determines the shape and taste of the steamed dough. We mix the noodles according to the proportion of 1g yeast 50g water 20g juice per 100g flour. You can add some milk to make it milk flavor. Mix them well. Now you have to knead it for a few minutes. This part is pretty critical so keep going until you are really happy with the consistency. （If it’s a little sticky still, add some more flour to the board and if it seems too dry you can wipe it with a little more water. Don’t add too much though as a little goes a long way. You, I am sure, don’t want to be playing the water-flour balancing game!）
Step 3/4 - This step is fun. Build whatever you like with these ready colorful dough. A snowman, a car, a follower... To be honest, I am not the one with lots of imagination so I would get some
molds. Just a press is needed and everything is perfect.
Step 4/4 - Leave it at room temperature for one hour for fermentation. Place the dough on the steamer, remember to leave a gap between each other, so that the dough would not come together during the steaming process (the steamed one is about 1.5 times bigger than the unsteamed one). Steam them for about 15 minutes. let's see what your and your kid's works would be like. I wonder If it is too beautiful for you to eat your masterpiece.

What kind of yeast do you use?
I have used so many different kinds of yeasts and so far I think this is the best one.
What kind of steamer do you use?
This fits into my 6 qt instant pot just fine!
Why does my steamed dough have a lot of bubbles?
The dough is not kneaded enough.
Why did my buns collapse after cools down?
You added too much water.
How do I know that the fermentation of the dough is good?
The steamed dough would be1.5 times larger than the unsteamed one, for example, the 3cm bun becomes about 4.5cm, or Use your finger to press the bun, and if it rebounds slowly the fermentation is ok.
How long do I have to wait to fermentate well?
It varies from place to place, temperature to temperature. Especially in winter and summer. In summer, you just need to wait several minutes under while in winter you need to make a small warm room to fermentate.

It may not be that the fermentation is not enough or the yeast has died.
