   状态：表面形成厚实的米色泡沫，碗壁附着小气泡A thick beige foam has formed on the surface and small bubbles cling to the side of the bowl

   判断标准：泡沫高出奶面，并带一丝淡淡的酒酿味The foam domes above the milk line and smells faintly beer-like

   不起泡说明酵母已死。换新的一包重新开始，别指望多等一会。

2. 2面粉、余下糖与盐混合。倒入酵母奶液和油，拌成絮状后手揉12分钟。

   状态：面团光滑呈缎面哑光，能干净地脱离碗壁，没有干粉块Dough is smooth, satin-matt and pulls cleanly from the bowl with no flour pockets

   判断标准：抻薄能形成透光薄膜而不是破裂Stretched thin, it forms a translucent windowpane instead of tearing

3. 3加盖室温发酵约75分钟至两倍大、饱满如枕。沾粉的手指按入2厘米，指印应几乎不回弹。

   状态：面团明显隆起，表面紧绷微亮，贴碗处能看到细密气泡Dough has domed visibly, surface taut and slightly glossy, with fine bubbles visible where it touches the bowl

   判断标准：指印静止3秒不回弹The indentation stays put for 3 seconds instead of springing back

4. 4排气后再揉3分钟排掉大气泡。搓成长条切成10等份。

   🔍 看状态 5 分钟 · 5 minutes

   状态：切面组织细腻均匀，没有超过针尖大的孔洞The cut face shows a fine, even crumb with no holes larger than a pinhead

   判断标准：面团重新变得紧实有弹性，按压时有回扯感Dough feels dense and elastic again and resists when you press

   这一步揉不到位是馒头起皱塌陷的头号原因。老老实实揉满3分钟。

5. 5每份收成高挺的圆球，皮要绷紧，放在烘焙纸方块上，盖松布醒发25分钟至明显胀起。

   🔍 看状态 25 分钟 · 25 minutes

   状态：生坯又胀大半，表面光滑如绒而非发暗Buns have grown by half again and the surface looks smooth and velvety rather than dull

   判断标准：轻按表面缓慢回弹，留下很快就填平的浅坑A lightly pressed surface springs back slowly, leaving a shallow dent that fills in

6. 6笼布包住锅盖，大火沸水蒸15分钟。关火焖5分钟，然后开盖时把盖子往自己反方向倾斜。

   大火蒸+焖制

   🔍 看状态 大火 蒸15分钟 + 焖5分钟 · 15 minutes steam + 5 minutes rest

   状态：馒头饱满油亮雪白，外皮紧绷，轻按即回弹Buns are plump, glossy and snow-white, with a taut skin that springs back when pressed

   判断标准：开盖时蒸汽喷涌；撕开时馒头能干净地脱离纸Steam bursts out on opening; the bun lifts cleanly off the paper when peeled

   盖上的冷凝水滴下来会让馒头起斑起泡。所以要包布。
