Everyone knows that northerners love pasta and naturally like cakes. Scallion cake, egg pancake, leek egg pie, etc. Are regular customers at the breakfast table. In fact, no matter what kind of bread, it can be roughly divided into two categories: dead bread and dough bread.
Bread cake is a cake fermented by adding yeast to dough. It tastes soft, but it is not chewy.
Therefore, more people like to make dead dough cakes. They can make dough at any time without wasting time. After mastering the method, they can make them as soft as bread, and they can be layered and chewy.
But in fact, many people can't do it well, and the baked cake is hard and white, not soft at all. So what went wrong?
Today, radar will tell you how to bake a cake delicious.
In fact, no matter what kind of cake you make, if you master the steps of kneading dough, you will basically succeed more than half. The dough is evenly mixed, and the cake is soft but not hard, fragrant and crisp.
(1) Add salt and edible oil to flour.
Everyone should know that salt is added to flour to increase the toughness of dough and make it taste stronger.
But many people will ignore the step of adding cooking oil. Many people ask whether the pancakes in the back will use oil, and whether it is too greasy to put oil in the noodles.
Actually, it won't. Adding cooking oil can make the dough layer better, and make the dough more malleable when kneading, without touching it by hand. If you want something more fragrant, you can use lard instead.
(2) When the flour is ready, you can add water.
Is it hot or cold water?
In fact, if the hardness of the dough is moderate, half hot water and half cold water is the best. Of course, those who are in trouble can adapt to the weather and temperature. Use cold water every day in summer and warm water when it is cold in winter.
Remember to add a few times, so you can save water and add more noodles, and the noodles will become more and more complicated. After adding water, stir it with chopsticks to make it flocculent, and then knead it into a ball by hand.
There is an old saying about the success of kneading dough, that is, "face light, hand light and basin light". Doing these three things well means that your dough is kneaded.
(3) Awakening 10 minutes
Although it's not a cake, it's still necessary to proofe the dough. This step is to make the dough smoother and softer. It doesn't take long, about 15 minutes.
Many people like the layered effect of bread, but I don't know how to make it. I think it is enough to simply stack several layers of dough, but the finished cake is not layered at all.
It's actually quite simple. You can achieve this effect by spreading pastry.
Butter is made by pouring hot oil into salt and flour and stirring evenly. Henan crispy rice oil should also be put in the fire, which is delicious and delicious. You can do it when you wake up.
Roll the dough into a round cake, spread a layer of pastry on the surface, sprinkle a little flour, roll it up, divide it into several small doses, roll it round, and bake it in layers.
I learned everything in front, and pancakes are easier. Mainly temperature and time.
Whether you use an electric baking pan or a pan, you must remember to preheat it in advance.
Roll the small dose into a circle, the same size as the pot you use. When the pot is almost hot, pour in some cooking oil and you can put the cake embryo in. Turn the cake by hand so that the downward side of the cake is in full contact with the oil, and then you can cover it.
If it's an electric baking pan, remember to grease the upward side of the cake.
About 30 seconds, when you open the lid, you can turn it over when you see a big bubble and soak it again. You should turn the cake embryo from time to time and heat it evenly, so that it is easier to layer inside.
After 30 seconds, turn it over again until both sides turn golden yellow, and then you can go out of the pot.
The baked cake is fragrant, soft and sticky. Roll some stir-fried dishes or dip them in sauce. Everything is delicious. My family cooks several times a week, which is not enough to eat. If you learn it, try it quickly.
Ok, that's all for today's food sharing. Thank you for reading. See you next time.
