How to make Anhui Mengcheng sesame cake

Nowadays, many people neglect their own health and do not pay attention to what they eat on weekdays. They just buy some food outside. In fact, it is not as difficult as imagined to eat nutritious and healthy food. For example, Anhui Mengcheng Shaobing is simple to make and is a very delicious dish that is worth recommending.

1. Add appropriate amount of salt to flour and knead it into dough with cold water. Generally, one pound of flour and four ounces of water (adjust the amount according to the weather and the dryness and humidity of the flour). Then knead the dough until the surface is smooth. Let it rest for 20 minutes, and then divide it into dough pieces weighing about one ounce. Remember to brush it with oil, otherwise it will stick together.

2. Use a rolling pin to make dough into a 1.5 cm thick pancake as shown in the picture.

3. Then put all the dough together and let it rest for 20 minutes.

4. Crush the pork fat into a paste, add thirteen-spice powder, five-spice powder, chicken essence, MSG, and salt as appropriate (similar to the usual pork filling, add according to your taste)

5. After the dough has risen, grab both sides and pull them apart evenly, then spread the mixed lard on them, as shown in the picture:

6. Apply oil evenly and roll from one end to the other, then fold in half, pinch the two ends together, and then put them one by one with the ends facing down, seal them with plastic wrap and freeze them in the refrigerator. Take them out and thaw them naturally when you eat them.

7. Preheat the oven to 270°C and 300°C when baking. Press the thawed dough into a rectangle with the sealed side facing up. Place it on a baking tray, brush with egg yolk, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and bake in the oven until the surface is browned. It usually takes seven or eight minutes.

8. This is what it looks like after baking. Isn’t it appetizing?
