How to make apple shaped steamed buns
In a bowl, mix the milk with the seed oil, sugar and brewer’s yeast. Add the flour, salt and knead with your hands. Form a compact ball, cover it with a tea towel and leave to rise for 1 hour. Work the dough a little more with the flour, then divide it into 5 balls. Place a ball on a square of parchment paper, make a small groove in the center and place a cinnamon stick. Dilute the food coloring in the water and brush it on the bread. Repeat for other apple-shaped sandwiches. Steam them for 10 minutes – your apple-shaped steamed buns are ready to serve.
