Double Happiness Salt and Pepper Cake
Overview
Chatting with my son during dinner, he said: In the evening, my classmates made an appointment to go to karaoke, and I said, "Then you can go and be happy too," he said firmly, "I won't go," I asked, "Why?" He answered me: The karaoke private room is very closed, and they smoke and drink inside. I have rhinitis, and besides, I don’t know how to smoke or drink. I would look too out of place if I squatted with a bottle of Coke, right? I said okay! As you wish. Three hours later, my son said again, "I want to go now. Come on, it's already 11 o'clock. Why are you going to go when it's over?" He said, "I'm going to go when it's almost over. Let's see if any of them are drunk so we can send them home!" I covered my mouth and looked confused... The topic quickly returned to this salt and pepper chive puff pastry! In fact, I have made this very delicious thing many times. The crispy outer skin and salty flavor are indescribable. Every time I finish making it, my family almost kills it before letting it cool quickly. After finishing this time, I especially recommend it to my friends to try when they have time. I think this Chinese snack is a good choice for eating by yourself or as a gift during the Spring Festival.

Ingredients
Steps
-
Mix all the ingredients in the dough into the bread machine barrel and knead into a smooth dough;
-
And knead until the dough can pull out the fascia, cover the bread machine lid and let it rest for about 20 minutes;
-
Mix all the ingredients in the pastry into dough;
-
Heat the pan over low heat and stir-fry the flour until slightly yellow and let cool;
-
Add sugar, salt, fennel powder (fennel powder is made by sauteing half of the peppercorns and half of the cumin until fragrant), chopped chives, chopped peanuts and sesame seeds and mix well;
-
Finally, add the egg liquid and an appropriate amount of corn oil (I used two egg whites and one egg yolk here, and the remaining egg yolk is used to brush the surface. Add corn oil as appropriate, and the mixed filling can be kneaded into a ball);
-
Stir evenly with a spatula, knead it into a dough with your hands, and knead it into a long strip;
-
After weighing, shape into 12 small balls with your hands;
-
After weighing the dough, divide it into 12 small pieces and roll into balls;
-
Weigh the total weight of the pastry;
-
Flatten the dough, grab a piece of dough and weigh it (each piece is about 13 grams);
-
Wrap in the pastry and pinch it tightly, arrange them in order from 1 to 12, and complete each one (this saves the relaxation time, and the first one will be relaxed after all are completed);
-
Starting from the first one, flatten it, use a rolling pin to roll it into a long tongue shape, and roll it into a tube shape;
-
Complete 12 in order;
-
Take a tube-shaped dough from the first step, flatten it and roll it into a rectangular shape;
-
Roll into a rectangle and complete 12 pieces in sequence;
-
Take one starting from the first one and press it in the center with your hand;
-
The two ends are squeezed together towards the middle;
-
Flatten it with your hands and wrap it in the filling;
-
Pinch the mouth tightly;
-
Shape it into the shape you like (I made two portions here, shape it into a shoe sole shape and keep it for yourself);
-
Arrange it in a baking pan, brush the surface with egg wash, and dot it with red food (the shape of this gift is simple and elegant, which makes it more festive);
-
Place in the middle rack of the oven at 175 degrees and heat up and down for about 25 minutes;
