Double hemp fire
Overview
Huoshao is the Henan people’s name for sesame cakes. Shuangma Fire is a famous small noodle dish in Kaifeng, Henan. I once ate it near Xiangguo Temple. It is crispy and crumbly, a bit like a thousand-layer puff pastry, but this kind of fire has no fillings. People in the Central Plains love to eat pasta. I have made this kind of sesame seed cakes myself, but I haven’t posted about it. Today I made this Shuangma Shaobing with a slight change in the method. I used yeast dough as the dough to wrap the pastry. Because the fermented dough is easier to digest, the prepared sesame cakes are crispy and have a bit of softness, which is also very delicious. They are also soft and delicious after cooling. Elderly people can eat it even if they use leavened noodles, so they don’t have to worry about indigestion.

Knead into a smooth dough
-
Ferment at room temperature until doubled in size

Take a piece of dough, dip another small piece of dough in the oil and wrap it in the middle, then pinch both ends tightly and wrap it up
-
After wrapping, brush the smooth side with water and cover with sesame seeds.

Flatten it and sprinkle some sesame seeds on the back. Don’t stick too much on the back, just a little sesame
-
Pan sear. Cover when baking

Once one side is golden, turn it over

Although it is made from yeast dough, it is also layered inside, and the crispy texture still has a soft texture. Personally, I prefer the double sesame roast made with this kind of yeast dough
