Oat Bran Smile-Faced Steamed Bun

Set the oat bran aside.

Place two tablespoons of oat bran into a bowl, add boiling water and stir into a flaky mixture, then add six tablespoons of white flour, two eggs, a little yeast, salt, sugar, one tablespoon of cooking oil, and a small amount of purified water, and stir again into a flaky mixture (knead the oat bran flakes and white flour flakes together). Let it rise until it is twice the size, as shown in the picture.

Knead into a smooth dough, then add a little alkaline powder, knead again, let it rest for a second fermentation for about ten minutes, and then knead into a smooth dough again, as shown in the picture.
