Ingredients
Steps
-
all-purpose flour, 3 grams of yeast, 290 grams of warm water (add 3 grams of sugar to promote yeast fermentation, you can leave it out if you don’t like it). After the dough is smooth, cover it with plastic wrap and put it in a warm place to prevent it from rising. Let the dough double in size. After peeling the dough, there will be many even holes inside.
-
Add 8 grams of flour, 1 gram of five-spice powder, and 5 grams of salt to 15 grams of peanut oil and stir evenly.
-
Deflate the dough, knead evenly, and roll into a long strip.
-
Use a rolling pin to roll the dough up and down into a uniform thickness, about 30 x 50 cm. Don't roll it out too thin like I did 40x60.
-
Spread the pastry evenly on the dough sheet. Divide the top and bottom sides of the dough into 5 parts and cut 4 equal parts.
-
Fold the top and bottom pieces toward the middle.
-
After folding up and down, fold the middle piece over to the middle of the next piece.
-
Repeat the previous action, and finally pinch the edge of the closing edge tightly.
-
Spray water on the surface, sprinkle with white sesame seeds, and press it with a rolling pin.
-
Leave in a warm place to rise, about 15-20 minutes. Awakening depends on the state, not the time. After the water boils, steam it for 15 to 18 minutes. Turn off the heat and simmer for two minutes before serving.
-
Brush the surface of the puff pastry with oil and place it on an electric baking pan or a frying pan until browned.
-
Cut into pieces and eat with distinct layers.
-
Very soft.
