Hanamaki

Overview

When I was a child, I always watched my grandma make pasta at her house. I also made Hanamaki myself when I had nothing to do, reliving the heartwarming scene of my childhood mischief.

Ingredients

Steps

  1. Pour the yeast into the warm water, mix well and let it sit for 5 minutes. Put the flour in a large bowl, slowly pour the yeast water in portions, and stir with chopsticks while pouring the water until you see the flour starting to form lumps. At this time, knead the flour repeatedly with your hands. When the flour is kneaded into a ball, cover the large bowl tightly with plastic wrap, place it in a warm place, and let it sit for about 1 hour (it will take about 2 hours in winter, or 1 hour if it is placed next to the heater). When the dough has doubled in size and is filled with bubbles and honeycomb tissue, the dough is considered complete. (I forgot to take pictures during the process of kneading the dough. This is the dough after waking up.)
