1 The night before, sift the flour, add salt and aluminum-free leavening agent, mix, beat in eggs, add 10-15 grams of vegetable oil, mix the yeast with warm water (a small bowl, hand temperature), let it stand for a while, pour it into the flour several times, and use chopsticks to stir it into a dough (as long as it can be stirred into a dough). Knead the dough with your hands. You can use the folding method to make it stretchy. If the dough is a little sticky, add a small amount of dry flour and knead it until the dough no longer sticks to your hands. Spread vegetable oil on both sides of the kneaded dough, put it in a container, cover it with plastic wrap and let it ferment until the next morning.

2 Brush the panel with oil, apply a little oil on your hands, take out the dough and knead it gently on the panel to expel the air in the dough. Use your hands to stretch the dough towards both ends, and then press it into a thin, flat rectangular sheet with your palms.
