| question | Reason | solution |
|---|---|---|
| Dough does not ferment | Yeast failure, water temperature too low or too high | Check whether the yeast has expired and adjust the water temperature to 35-40℃ |
| Fermentation speed is slow | Ambient temperature is too low | Place the dough in a warm place (such as an oven or a warm bath) |
| The dough is sour | Fermentation time is too long | Control fermentation time, reduce fermentation time in summer |
| The buns are not fluffy | Insufficient fermentation or insufficient kneading | Ensure full fermentation and complete exhaustion when kneading the dough |
