The so-called cylinder furnace, that is, with daily life commonly used ceramic vat lying horizontally with cement and brick phase and become, the middle of the heat preservation materials and built into the baked baklava of the furnace, the material specific calorific value of the larger, heat transfer uniformity, out of the baklava was a garden drum shape, exuding a fragrant smell, the color is charred yellow, tasty, fragrant and crispy and delicious, a unique flavor.
The production of the cylinder
Will not yet burned, half-cooked half-cooked jar, remove the bottom, so that the upper and lower connected. Wrap the tank into a round barrel with an iron sheet, seal the gap between the tank and the iron sheet tightly with clay, and then place it with the big mouth downward on the arranged stove bars to fix it, i.e., to make a tank stove.
The production of baklava
With the ringing water (water temperature of 50 ℃ ~ 60 ℃ or so) into the appropriate amount of salt and white flour and blend. After the noodles and good, placed on the board, crushed repeatedly into layers with a pasta stick, and then divided into dough, each small dough was rolled, folded into a rectangle, neatly arranged on the board, sprinkled with water, smoothed with your hands, and then sprinkled with peeled white sesame seeds, and then evenly made into baklava embryo with your hands, then into the oven. Into and out of the furnace: When the cylinder furnace burns hot, the finished baklava embryo one by one on the wall of the furnace, the mouth of the furnace covered with an iron lid. After about 20~30 minutes, when the sesame seeds become yellow and the flavor is emitted, the oven can be started. Use a shovel to shovel the yakisoba off the stove wall, remove it by hand, and serve.
Precautions for the production process
One, burn the stove, the so-called cylinder stove, that is, the usual ceramic vat, longitudinal 1 with a little less than half, lying horizontally into the furnace, wipe the mud tightly with charcoal or acacia tree branches, burned to the furnace into a grayish-white color, about 600 ° C, ceasefire with water to brush the stove, so that the temperature of the cylinder wall down to 230 ° C, will be done one by one, with the back of the hand to stick the pancake in the wall of the furnace. Because the furnace wall has a certain degree of heat, baklava that is pasted above, on the frying and baking, so that the baklava cooked through, put out the fragrant odor that is completed. Burning stove fire avoid storm and avoid weak, stormy pancake easy to paste, weak fire power is not enough, the pancake will be added raw. Brush furnace to see the color of the furnace wall, the temperature is high to more water cooling, low to add fire to increase the temperature. Mastering the temperature can not use a thermometer, all depends on experience to see the color of the furnace.
Second, the package agent, agent size should be uniform, and then written into the crust, wrapped and patted flat after the burrito should not be attached to the stove side dipped full of fried molt white sesame seeds, in order to prepare for the stove.
Three, on the burrito, that is, baking. Saki well, with the back of the hand, one by one to send divination furnace wall, each next to the tightly pasted evenly. At this time, the temperature of the furnace wall is very critical, the temperature is low, the pancake can not stick to fall in the charcoal fire into the waste. Temperature regulation depends on the iron curtain of the furnace door, the temperature is high, open the curtain, the temperature is low, close the curtain.
The characteristics of the cylinder oven baklava: garden shape, bulging charred yellow, layers of thin skin, crisp and fragrant.
