Step 2: In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, leavening agent, and powdered milk. Add water and knead until the dough is smooth and forms a cohesive mass.
Step 3: Take one-third of the dough and mix it with the mashed sweet potatoes to create the sweet potato dough. Roll out the remaining two-thirds of the white dough, cut it into round pieces for the bun shells. Repeat the same process for the sweet potato dough to form the filling.

Step 4: Take a piece of bun dough, roll it out thinly, place the purple sweet potato filling inside, and fold it so that the filling is not exposed. Wrap each bun with one filling until you finish all the fillings. Use a knife to make a cross-shaped incision on the top of each bun to reveal the purple sweet potato layer inside.

Step 1: Clean the purple sweet potatoes, steam or boil them. Once cooled, peel the potatoes and mash them finely using a sieve.
Step 2: Heat or microwave the milk until warm, then mix it with sugar, coconut milk, and yeast. Divide the mixture into two parts.
Step 3: Divide the dough into two parts. Knead 120g of the dough with half of the prepared milk mixture. Knead the remaining 80g of dough with the purple sweet potato mixture, then combine it with the rest of the milk mixture. After kneading, let the dough rest for 5 minutes before incorporating cooking oil and kneading again.
Step 4: Cover the dough bowl with a damp cloth or food wrap and let it rest for about 1 hour, allowing the dough to double in size.
Step 5: Roll out 2 layers of dough, one white and one purple, to equal sizes. Place them on top of each other, press gently to make the layers stick together, then roll them into a log shape. Cut the dough into pieces about 2-3cm thick and place them in a steamer. Steam for 15 to 20 minutes after the water boils until the buns are cooked.
