Tips for soft sesame cakes

Shaobing is a snack that many people like to eat. It mainly depends on the filling and the making of the crust of the sesame cake. Because the crust of the sesame cake becomes soft during the fermentation and kneading process, we should pay attention to the ratio of flour, water and oil, which is 2:1:0.3 when kneading the dough. Then use warm water to knead the dough. You need to add water while kneading. After the dough is kneaded, it needs to be left to rest for 10 minutes. Then the crust of the sesame cake will be softer.

1. How to make sesame seed cakes softer

1.1. Kneading the dough is very important

The ratio of flour, water and oil is generally 2:1:0.3-0.5. Too much oil will make the baked pancakes difficult to separate, and too little oil will not be crispy. Use warm water to knead the dough, and make it softer. You can use a pair of chopsticks to stir the dry flour, and slowly add water while stirring, so that the dough can be relatively soft. When there is no dry flour left, knead it into a soft dough with your hands. After the dough is kneaded, put it in a warm place for 10 minutes. Adding baking powder when kneading the dough will make the sesame seed cakes softer. Mix the dough evenly with 2-3% baking powder. Adding too much baking powder will make the food taste bitter. Then add appropriate amount of warm or cold water and knead or stir. Adding a little salt when kneading the dough can shorten the fermentation time and make the finished product softer.

1.2. Fermentation is important

When the dough is rising, cover the basin with plastic wrap to prevent the moisture from evaporating. The best ambient temperature for fermentation is between 30-35 degrees, and it is best not to exceed 40 degrees. The humidity is between 70-75%. The environment under this data is most conducive to dough fermentation.

Pay attention to the secondary fermentation, that is, after the dough is fermented for the first time, it should be left for more than half an hour. Place the dough on the panel and knead it to get the air out of the dough. Then place it in a relatively sealed container and let it ferment at room temperature for about 30 minutes. The secondary fermentation plays an important role in the softness of the finished dough.

2. How to make sesame cake

The first step is to add an appropriate amount of yeast and 20 grams of oil to the flour, and knead it into a smooth dough with warm water for fermentation. In the second step, put pepper salt, salt, five-spice powder, cumin powder and white sesame powder in a bowl and mix evenly to make seasoning. In the third step, the fermented dough will be in a honeycomb shape inside. Knead it evenly with your hands to expel the gas inside the dough, and then divide it into two portions. Step 4: Take one of the pieces and use a rolling pin to roll it into a rectangle. Apply oil on the surface. Step 5: After applying oil, sprinkle with seasoning and a little dry flour. Step 6: After applying oil, sprinkle with seasoning and a little dry flour. The seventh step is to divide it into several evenly sized portions. The eighth step is to stretch the dough a little and fold the two ends inward. The ninth step is to wrap the four sides with the tiger's mouth, shape it into a round shape, and flatten it. Step 10: Brush a layer of water on the surface, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and then press tightly. Step 11: Put the cake into the electric baking pan and fry until both sides are golden brown. Flip once in the middle. Then take it out and eat it.
