3 cups of fermented dough, 2 tablespoons of ghee, 10 tablespoons of oil, 3 egg yolks, 1 cup of white sesame seeds, hot noodle ingredient:, 2 cups of flour, 3/4 cup of hot water, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, shortening ingredient:, 1/4 cup of oil, 3/4 cup of flour.

Detailed steps for baklava

1. Turn oven on at 350F.

2. For shortening: Heat 1/4 cup oil, turn off heat. Drop in 3/4 cup flour and sauté for about 5 minutes, until flour is peanut butter colored.

3. Scald: 1/2 teaspoon salt to 2 cups flour. Slowly pour 3/4 cup boiling water into the flour, stirring with chopsticks as you pour. When cool enough to handle, knead the flour into a smooth dough. Cover with a damp towel and let rise for 30 minutes.

4. Dust the work surface with flour and knead the hot and leavened doughs together.

5. Roll out the dough into a thin rectangular sheet. Spread the top evenly with ghee and sprinkle with shortening.

6. Fold the left side, right side, top side and bottom side of the dough to the center by 1/3 each for 9 layers. Roll out the dough thinly.

7. Starting from one side, roll the dough into a long cylinder shaped like an old-fashioned telescope and divide it into 10 portions.

8. For the baklava:

==> 1. Spread the white sesame seeds on the bottom of the pan.

==>2. Whisk the egg yolk mixture with chopsticks.

==>3. Pinch each portion of dough together with your hands at the openings. Hold the dough in both hands at the same time and pinch the dough finely.

==>4. Pinch the ends of one portion of dough with both hands and twist them in opposite directions like a twist, bringing them together in the center to form a short, thick cylinder with a thin center and thin edges. Flatten the dough with your hands.

==>5. Brush the top of the pastry with the egg yolk mixture, and place the yolk side on a plate to coat with sesame seeds. Press the top of the dough with your hands to firm up the sesame seeds.

==>6. Brush other side with egg yolk mixture and sesame seeds. Firmly press the sesame seeds with your hands.

==>7. Turn the burner on a little higher than medium heat. Heat a pan, sprinkle a tablespoon of oil and brown the pastry on both sides.

9. Place the yakitori on the grill and cook for 15 minutes on each side.

Tips on how to make baklava

How to: 1. Purchase ghee in the baking ingredients section of the supermarket, or you can use lard instead. 2. If the dough is too large, steps 5 through 8 can be done in two batches. 3. It is recommended that you put a small amount of sesame seeds in the pan at a time to ensure that each yakisoba has a certain amount of sesame seeds. 4. Fry them in oil to make the skin crispy and to minimize moisture loss when baking. 5. The crispy exterior of the baklava was very similar to Beijing style baklava. 6. The crispy flavor was not prominent enough, so double the amount next time. 7. The baklava was a bit light, so double it next time. 7. The cakes were a bit bland, add more salt next time. 8. 8. The cakes were a bit thick. This time it was 3 cups of fermented dough:2 cups of hot noodles, next time try 2 cups of fermented dough:3 cups of hot noodles. 9. Make it a little smaller, 12 cups of fermented dough:12 cups of hot noodles. 9. Make it smaller, 12 cakes might be better.
