How to make Matcha Pastry

Eating is a very important thing in life. Now people pay more and more attention to health. Many people begin to learn to cook by themselves, hoping that they can eat healthier. The method of making matcha pastry is very simple, and eating it regularly is also very beneficial to health.

1. First, make the water-oil dough: Pour 75g of all-purpose flour, 30g of water, and 15g of powdered sugar into a dough bowl and stir with chopsticks until it becomes flocculent. Then use your hands to make a dough (no need to knead the dough at this time). Cover with plastic wrap and let the dough rise for 20 minutes.

2. Move the dough to the kneading mat and knead it until it is smooth (about six or seven minutes)

3. Add 25 grams of lard and continue kneading. The dough with lard will be very thin at first. Keep kneading.

4. Knead the dough until it can be pulled into a film, gather it into a ball and wrap it with plastic wrap.

5. Make the shortcrust dough: Add 2g of matcha powder and 30g of lard to 60g of low-gluten flour, mix well and wrap with plastic wrap. Let both doughs relax for 20 minutes.

6. Take out after 0 minutes and divide into four equal parts

7. Take a small dough of water and oil, flatten it with your palm and put it into a matcha oil pastry

8. Wrap it like we do with dumplings, with the seam facing down, cover with plastic wrap and let it relax for 10 minutes.

9. Take a dough and roll it out with a rolling pin (here you will find the effect of the glove film you kneaded earlier: the rolled skin will not break. If it breaks, the finished product will be broken, affecting the appearance)

10. Roll it up and cover with plastic wrap and let it relax for 20 minutes

11. After taking it out, place it vertically and flatten it with your hands. Use a rolling pin to roll it out.

12. This time, try to roll it into a rectangular shape, so that the layers of the pastry will be more even and beautiful.

13. Roll it up, cover it with plastic wrap and let it relax for 20 minutes

14. Now you can prepare the red bean paste filling, 8 pieces in total, 20 grams each, weigh them and set aside

15. Take out the dough and cut it in half in the middle with a knife (it is best to choose a sharper knife)

16. Cut upwards

17. Press flat with your palm

18. Flatten it and spread it out (remember to use the back of the spread out dough to wrap the filling, otherwise you will find that the layers of the puff pastry are wrapped inside and become dark puff pastry)

19. Put the red bean paste filling in the wrapper and close it with the top facing down.

20. After wrapping everything, place it on a baking tray lined with baking paper, preheat the oven to 180 degrees and bake for 30 minutes

21. Take it out of the oven and let it cool before eating! (Here is an example: the second one on the top row, which is what I mentioned earlier that you must roll the dough before wrapping the filling, otherwise it will be like this without any layers, you can compare it)
