To make sesame seed cakes fluffy and soft, you need to pay attention to the dough mixing, fermentation and baking. Kneading dough: The ratio of dough, water and oil is 2:1:0.3. Fermentation: The optimal environment temperature for fermentation is between 30-35 degrees and the humidity is between 70-75%. Bake: Bake in the oven at 200 degrees and 170 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes.
1. Kneading noodles.
1. The ratio of noodles, water and oil is generally 2:1:0.3. If there is too much oil, the biscuits will not be easily layered, and if there is less oil, the biscuits will not be crispy.
2. Use warm water to knead the dough. The dough should be soft. Use a pair of chopsticks to stir the dry flour. While stirring, slowly add water. When there is no dry dough, knead it with your hands until it becomes soft. After the dough is mixed, place it in a warm place to rest for 10 minutes.
3. Add baking powder when kneading the dough. Mix the dough evenly with a ratio of 2-3% baking powder. Excessive addition of baking powder will cause the food to taste bitter. Then add an appropriate amount of warm or cold water and knead or stir.
4. Adding a little salt when kneading the dough can shorten the fermentation time and make the finished product softer.
2. Fermentation.
1. When making the dough, cover the basin with plastic wrap to prevent the water from evaporating.
2. The optimal environmental temperature for fermentation is between 30-35 degrees, and it is best not to exceed 40 degrees. Humidity is between 70-75%.
3. A fermentation method that can be used in all seasons is: put hot water of about 60-70 degrees in a large steamer, put the basin into the pot (the basin should not be in contact with the hot water), Cover the steamer pot. In the small environment of the steamer, both temperature and humidity are available. Of course, if you are used to using a microwave or oven, you can do it.
4. 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. The dough should be kneaded on the panel to knead the air out of the dough, and then placed on the opposite surface. In a sealed container, let it ferment at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
3. Baking.
1. Before frying, you can brush a layer of egg liquid, butter or oil on the sesame cakes. This will make them soft and will not stick to the bottom.
2. The frying temperature should not be too high, and the time should not be too long. If it is fried, turn it over in time. If it is baked, a reference data is provided: the oven should be heated to 200 degrees and lowered. Bake at 170 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes.
3. You can spray or sprinkle some water during the baking process.
