try #2 went a lot better but still not what i would call good, but atleast edible

(edible like the food You order in semi expensive restaurant and then can only cry You went there, yes im talking to You dear reader!)

3rd try that was cooking simultanelusly ... simultanously... sim... at the same time, went great, might be because fgilling got heavily improved, but also because i made dough paper thin ( some broke, and its hard to consume) but other than that it was first time i was like "damn i want one more"

@Learath2 I thought a lot about yesterday, and I've got a question, if I added too much yeast, could it result in such a weird taste? is it even possible to add too much yeast?

dupes too much

lets say you made 500g dough, you'd roughly add 15-20g of fresh yeast
17:08
maybe even less

..how much dough did you make
i had 650-700g of flour
17:13
and 75g of yeast
17:13
300ml of water
17:13
2 spoons of sugar

thats.. still a lot of fresh yeast

and literally 0 salt ( Im never following recipes again (cries))
17:13
yeah well the online calculators were really weird about that
Avatar
and high hydration :o - you steamed them didnt you?
Avatar
yes i steamed them
Avatar
you could've rolled with 35% hydration easily
Avatar
and yes the dough was kinda too wet

steaming high hydration dough makes it gooey, which is not always wanted

ach so salvation would be actually baking it?
17:14
btw when taken out of steamer it had firm shape could be squeezed etc wasnt sticky

how was the chewing texture? i guess it comes down to preference
17:15
i usually always roll with 35-40% hydration, only pizza gets 75%

the outside tastes like skin of an old person (or really weird smooth chicken skin)

btw the entire house smells of yeast whenever i re-heat theem to eat

yeah that's expected

you added 150% more than needed

do You think the little steamed abomination i have already
17:16
I should just bake them?

nah i think baking ruins the filling

maybe you oversteamed?

theoreitcally filling has fatty bacon

It does, yeast has a very distinct taste
17:53
Actually wait, did I miscalculate that?

I do 2.5g of instant dry yeast to 250g of flour. You did 25g of instant dry yeast to 700g of flour. 0.01 vs 0.03.. yeah, you used 3 times the amount you needed

Yeah, I wrap my bao, then I lay a towel over them and let them rise again for like 20 minutes
18:04
Because you pushed all the air out while you were rolling the dough, it needs a little time to create air pockets again
18:05
Another issue might be that during the 5 hours of proofing the yeast just ran out of food. You already had too much yeast so it is possible. After that with no more food they can't rise again to create bubbles and be fluffy
18:06
It's been a while since I made bao, I have the urge to make some too now

The flour has enough carbs in there for the yeast, the sugar is more there for taste in a bao
18:08
but given you used 3 times the yeast maybe there just werent enough simple sugars in there for the yeast

it's not that she lied, it's that most of these recipes stem from folk knowledge. It's not completely wrong that she said sugar is for the yeast, the yeast will use that simple sugar much easier, but for most doughs we now know that the flour kinda has enough

Avatar
To be fair, that doesn't look like the fault of the flour
18:17
The higher the protein/ash content the "chewier" it'll be, so a less proteiny flour is better for "fluffier" bao, but as I said, mine has 11% protein even though it's ground fine, it's still "fluffy" enough

learath was right with everythin said if you beat your dough, let it rise again find a good ratio of flour to water give yeast something to snack on (most people just add a pinch of sault, and a tablespoon of sugar) a good rule of thumb is ~2% FRESH yeast to flower ratio (edited)

my root cause of becoming vegan is an interesting story in short: i worked as a chef in a noble restaurant when i was ~16 y/o, and i was the one throwing away kilograms of animal products (meat, fish, cutoff's etc) almost daily - it pissed me off so much i decided to never go eat animal products when going out so atleast i dont "force" any kitchen to do that because of me at some point i just stopped buying any producs for myself and only when someone made food for me that contained it and now it's just a habit really (edited)

I wont risk it with alcohol, mostly because If it goes bad I would be like "i guess its just supposed to taste like this since its self made!"
Eh, it's not worth bothering with IMO. Commercial breweries make consistently good beer. I make sometimes ok beer, it's just a waste of my time and ingredients

my root cause of becoming vegan is an interesting story in short: i worked as a chef in a noble restaurant when i was ~16 y/o, and i was the one throwing away kilograms of animal products (meat, fish, cutoff's etc) almost daily - it pissed me off so much i decided to never go eat animal products when going out so atleast i dont "force" any kitchen to do that because of me at some point i just stopped buying any producs for myself and only when someone made food for me that contained it and now it's just a habit really (edited)
eyy that restaurant had the cool head chef, who harass women!

A flexitarian diet, also called a semi-vegetarian or fauxtarian diet,[1] is one that is centered on plant foods with limited or occasional inclusion of meat.[2][3][4][5] For example, a flexitarian might eat meat only some days each week

yes but they aren't perfect at the butcher, and there are bits of bacon that arent bacon, that You can feel by touching
19:06
else You have to look at it all closely to find those, which are sometimes same colour
19:07
and for chicken You can take off that "membrane"
19:07
+ get rid of blood
19:07
ik some people eat "blood soups" but >_>

I dont wash beef tho

I will usually trim the chicken at home before cooking, but I won't wash it, for two reasons:
  • You'll just end up splashing salmonella everywhere
  • There is nothing to wash off that can be washed off, the blood will usually just come off with the membrane, if it doesn't I don't mind a tiny bit of blood
