Homemade fried dough sticks

Overview

Fried dough sticks---one of the most familiar snacks for Chinese people; although many experts have always believed that it is an unhealthy food, it still cannot prevent the wide market of fried dough sticks in China, because it is not only cheap and high-quality, but also a eating habit that has been popular for hundreds of years. Since the dough for homemade fried dough sticks needs to be baked for 8 to 10 hours, I knead the dough the night before, put it in the refrigerator to rest overnight, and take it out to warm up the next morning before making the dough and frying it. When kneading the dough, add 260 grams of water in batches. When you add 230 grams, you feel that the dough is already very wet, so you don’t put it in any more. After frying, one person has to make the dough and then fry it, which will cause the dough to dry out, which will affect the taste to some extent. No wonder outside breakfast restaurants usually have at least two people operating it. It would be perfect if it was three people~~~ Although the fried dough sticks I made myself were not as soft as the outside ones, they were still successful and gave me a lot of confidence. After all, I am really a novice when it comes to pasta~~~
