Golden Thread Cake

Method

1. 01

   Step 1

   Mix flour and dry yeast in a bowl until well combined. Then slowly add warm water at 40 50 C and stir the flour until it forms clumps.

   

2. 02

   Step 2

   Knead the lumpy flour into a smooth dough, making sure the bowl, your hands, and the dough are all clean. Then cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and let it rest for an hour, preferably kneading the dough twice during this time.

   Step 3

   Take a small bowl and put in an appropriate amount of salt, thirteen-spice powder, and black sesame seeds.

   

4. 04

   Step 4

   Then take a spoonful of cooking oil, heat it in a pan until boiling, and pour it into a seasoning bowl to make salt and pepper oil for later use.

   Step 5

   Divide the rested dough into several portions.

   Take a dough ball, roll it out into a rectangular sheet with a rolling pin, and then press it into thin noodles using a pasta machine.

   

7. 07

   Step 7

   Straighten the pressed noodles and lay them flat on the cutting board. Use a brush to evenly coat the noodles with salt and pepper oil, making sure to coat both sides of the noodles evenly.

   

8. 08

   Step 8

   Grasp the oiled noodles by both ends and twist them twice in opposite directions to tighten them and prevent them from falling apart when rolling them into a pancake. Then, starting from one end, coil them into a pancake shape, tucking the tail of the noodles under the pancake.

    Once the pancakes are cooked, take them out and wrap them in a clean towel or gauze. Use your hands to push the edges of the pancakes towards the center or gently shake them to break them into strands.
