Not hard and very delicious.

Whether you want to make it fragrant or soft, it is actually very simple. The main thing is to master the ratio of dough to water, to wake up the dough, and not to knead the dough too much.

Dead noodle flatbread is easy to make and does not require adding baking powder. It is a very classic delicacy here in Henan. It is also a very common delicacy that every household often makes. It is simple and delicious. Let me share my recipe in detail below.

Some methods: 1. Tips for soft but not hard fried noodle cakes 1. The ratio of noodles to water should be appropriate. The ratio of noodles to water when steaming steamed buns is basically 2:1, but this fried noodle cake requires softer dough.

That is to say, you need to add more water. Normally, 500 grams of flour requires 350 ml of water. This will make the dough soft enough and the baked cake will be softer. The key is that it will not harden after cooling.

2. Water temperature is very important, because we want the baked cake to be soft, so we must try to reduce the formation of gluten in the dough. If you use cold water to knead the dough, it will easily form gluten, so we must use warm water to knead the dough.

The dough made in this way is not prone to gluten and will naturally become soft after baking.

3. Properly proof the dough. You don’t need to add yeast to bake the dough, but you still need to proof it. In fact, no matter what kind of pasta you make, you need to proof the dough. This step is mainly to allow the flour and water to fully blend together so that the bread can be eaten.

It feels soft and chewy.

4. Don’t knead the dough too much. Everyone knows that when steaming steamed buns or steamed buns, you need to knead the dough. The more you knead the dough, the more gluten there will be and the chewier it will be.

This dead dough pancake is exactly the opposite. We want to avoid the formation of too much gluten, so we knead it as little as possible. Basically, knead it at the beginning and let it rise. After it wakes up, don't knead it too much. You can knead it gently.

After a few strokes, just start rolling.

2. Steps for making flatbread 1. Prepare raw materials: 500 grams of flour, 350 grams of warm water, 3 grams of salt, 5 grams of oil, chopped green onion 2. Pour all the flour, salt, and oil into a basin, and then slowly pour in the warm water.

, stir while pouring. After stirring until it becomes fluffy, start kneading it into a dough, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rest for half an hour. This can fully integrate the flour and water and make the dough evenly hydrated.

3. After half an hour, put it directly on the chopping board, knead it gently a few times, then roll it into a long strip, divide it into several small doughs, then roll each dough flat, apply oil and sprinkle with salt, roll it up and press

Just flatten it out; or roll it out directly into a large dough cake, grease it with oil and salt, roll it up, then divide it into small dough pieces, then flatten it out separately, and roll it out flat. Both methods are acceptable.

4. If you like to eat chopped green onions, you can sprinkle some chopped green onions after sprinkling the salt, so that it looks better and tastes more delicious.

If you want to eat a thicker cake, you don’t need to roll it out after flattening it in the previous step, just put it in the pot and bake it. The baked cake will be a thick round cake, which is also called fire roasting here, and the taste is also good.

5. The last step is to bake pancakes. Preheat the pan in advance and grease it with oil. You can pan pancakes with a regular pan or electric pan.

Place the cake on top and fry over medium-low heat, turning over and applying oil. Once both sides are golden, take it out of the pan and eat.
