EPIC Hong Kong Coronavirus Quarantine Baking FAIL | Making Japanese Milk Buns | Try not to laugh = (

Please note that Hong Kong is under the recommendation to stay at home, but we don't actually have a Stay at Home order in place. We tried to make these fluffy amazing Japanese milk buns, but through no fault of the recipe, we managed to screw it up twice. Lessons learned below: Recipe used from Pro Home Cooks: /watch/gQIU_wQBGtOBU https://www.prohomecooks.com/post/putting-the-air-fryer-to-the-ultimate-test Lessons for Intro bakers: 1) Active yeast needs to be active - you need to test it. If it doesn't froth and bubble after 10 mins in the warm milk, try again with milk that's cooler or hotter, and if it still doesn't work. Get new yeast. 2) Equal Sweetener is not real sugar & yeast thrives when there's sugar, so you need sugar present in the recipe. If you're using artificial sweetener, make sure there's at least 2 teaspoons of real sugar in there for the yeast to work. 3) KNEAD. Set the timer for 10 minutes and just do it. Kneading is how the dough develops that fluffiness afterwards in the bread. 4) Use the right flour - recipe called for bread flour and we used cake flour (one had lots of gluten content and the other had very little), which is why we couldn't get the dough to develop and be bouncy, leading to a very dense dough. 5) Read the instructions! This goes without saying, we missed out on the Tangzhou (the roux like mixture). Oh, and if you're trying this - I would recommend halving the recipe, I do not think we could have fit 12 buns for one round of airfrying. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - FIND US: IG | https://www.instagram.com/ilikefishballs WEBSITE | https://www.humidwithachanceoffishballs.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - About HUMID WITH A CHANCE OF FISHBALLS TOURS: “If you like our name, you’ll like our tours” is their motto.
