Material preparation: Main ingredients: 120 grams of flour, 40 grams of lard, 15 grams of white sugar, and 45 grams of water. Auxiliary ingredients: appropriate amount of chestnut filling and an edible flower seal.
Preparation method:
1: First we start to make the oil dough for this snack. Take out all-purpose flour, lard, boiling water (note it must be boiling water), and white sugar and add them into a bowl (because boiling water is added, friends need to be careful when making it).
2: After adding all the ingredients into the bowl, use chopsticks to stir the ingredients in the bowl into a hot dough. After all the ingredients in the bowl are mixed evenly with chopsticks, knead it with your hands (if the dough is still there at this time) If it is very hot, you need to mix the dough with chopsticks to avoid burning your hands).
3: The dough does not need to be pulled out after kneading, but the surface needs to be smooth. The kneaded dough is very soft. Place the kneaded dough into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap to prevent the dough from drying out. Set aside to rest.
4: Next, let’s start making the puff pastry. Take out the low-gluten flour and lard we prepared and start kneading. When kneading the pastry, use the method of kneading the pastry, so that the layers of the kneaded pastry can be clean and clear and more even.
5: The softness and hardness of the kneaded puff pastry dough should be consistent with that of the water-oil dough. After the puff pastry dough is kneaded, it should also be wrapped in plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out.
6: Next, divide the water-oil dough and puff pastry dough we have kneaded into 10 small pieces. After all the dough is divided, take out one water-oil dough and flatten it, and then take out one. Put the pastry mixture on the dough. Then wrap the puff pastry with water-oil dough.
7: Place the wrapped dough with the seam upward and place it on a cutting board, cover it with a layer of plastic wrap and set aside (note that the seam of the dough must be pinched tightly). Take it out as you make it to avoid it from drying out.
8: Take out a packaged dough and roll it into an oval-shaped small dough with uniform thickness, and then roll the rolled dough from bottom to top (try to roll it as tightly as possible). Turn the rolled dough over and flatten it vertically.
9: Roll the pressed dough into a long strip and roll it up again. Use this method to roll all the dough into small rolls and cover with plastic wrap for later use.
10: Cover the dough roll with plastic wrap and let it rest for about fifteen minutes to rest. Then take out the small dough roll from a pot and flatten it in the middle with chopsticks (if you want the finished product to be crispy) You can repeat this step several times for more layers of skin).
11: The pressed dough roll is then rolled out into a dough that is thin on all sides and thick in the middle. After the dough is rolled out, take out the chestnut filling we prepared and divide it into 10 small portions of 30 grams each.
12: Take out the rolled dough and put a filling ball on it, then slowly fold up the outer dough, and finally knead the inside of the dough tightly to adjust the shape. Wrap all the dough and fillings in all directions to form a raw embryo and set aside.
13: Place all the closed dough dough on the baking sheet with the seam downwards (the finished product made by this method is round, if you like the cake shape, you can also press it yourself Flat plastic surgery).
14: Place all the dough dough on the baking sheet and use a red seal to make a flower shape as decoration.
15: Now you can start baking. Open the oven and preheat it to 170 degrees, then put the baking sheet into the oven and bake at 170 degrees for about half an hour. Because the finished surface of this snack should be pure white, tin foil should be spread in time during the baking process to prevent coloring).
The above are all the steps for making this delicious chestnut white snack. During the process of making this snack, friends can also replace the chestnut filling with their favorite filling to make a unique one. Your own delicious snack
