Homemade Pampuchy, or Steamed Buns – notes
You don’t know this, but it was these very homemade pampuchy that started my love for yeast baked goods :)
In my childhood, my mother didn’t make yeast cakes – I think she was afraid of them.
However, my friend’s mother had no such objections and used yeast. Once I had the pleasure of being there when they were making such pampuchy.
I was fascinated, and these warm, fluffy buns tasted like the best dessert to me.
I convinced my mom and bought yeast so we could make them at home too. Already on the way from the store home, I got into the yeast.
I thought they must taste amazing, since yeast buns are so delicious.
So I tried some fresh yeast… as you can imagine – I spat further than I could see.
Fortunately, this did not discourage me from baking yeast cakes. Now I just don’t try them anymore.
I usually buy pampuchy because I don’t have time. But this time I had both time and willingness, so I prepared them myself.
I also recommend you make them yourself, because they are infinitely better than those from an airtight package.
How to make homemade pampuchy – good advice!
The yeast dough itself is prepared in a traditional way, and there are no surprises here.
However, more attention needs to be paid to “steaming” the buns.
You’ll need a veeery large pot here – I pulled out my huge one – it’s probably about 15 liters – and I still only made 3 buns at a time.
For this, you will need either a cloth diaper or a large piece of gauze – preferably folded in half.
A batch of buns steams for about 10 minutes, and during this time the rest of the buns are rising.
The dough is quite sticky and delicate, so homemade pampuchy shouldn’t rise too much, because then they won’t steam well.
I dealt with this by first preparing 6 pampuchy and covering them with a cloth. In the meantime, I boiled water in the pot.
When I put the first 3 buns in to steam, I prepared the next 3. And so on each time, until all the dough was used.
The buns may stick together during the process; just separate them when they are ready.
How to reheat pampuchy?
What to do if you have pampuchy left over after a meal and they are no longer warm and nice? Well – you need to reheat them.
To avoid doing the whole operation again with a large pot and a cloth diaper, I have a faster and more convenient method.
When I want to reheat just a few pampuchy, I pour some water into a smaller pot, set up a steaming basket, arrange the buns, and steam them for a few minutes.
This way they become warm and very fluffy again!
Definitely try this method.
P.S. Lovers of yeast cakes are invited to try my other recipes :)
And for pampuchy, I recommend baked rhubarb and briefly heated strawberries with a small amount of sugar :)
