First of all, you should choose the right flour to roll the dumpling skin. You may know to use high-gluten flour, but where to choose the flour is also very important. In fact, I also said in the previous article that it is best to choose high-gluten flour for winter wheat in the north.
After the flour is selected, it is the amount of water to be added when mixing flour. I usually add half a catty of water to 1 catty of flour. Of course, this ratio should be adjusted at any time with the difference of flour and season. Anyway, it's based on the principle of soft surface and hard surface in jiaozi.
When kneading dough, add salt and egg white to the flour, which can make the dumpling skin stronger, and it is not easy to break the skin when jiaozi wraps it and cooks it in a pot. I'm a little lazy. I didn't separate the egg whites when I mixed the noodles. I just beat the whole egg in the flour and then mix the flour. I hope my friends will not learn from me and try to separate the egg white from the flour.
Kneading steps:
1, 500g high-gluten flour, 2g salt, 1 egg white.
2. Pour 500 grams of water into the flour slowly and pour it in several times. First, knead the flour into a flocculent surface to ensure that there is no dry powder. At this time, in order to better stir the dough, you can cover the dough with plastic wrap, seal it for 30 minutes, and let the flour and water stir a little.
3. Slowly knead the dough into smooth dough, so that the basin is smooth and flat, and the dough is smooth and flat. Continue to cover the dough with plastic wrap for 30 minutes. At this time, if the hands on the basin are not washed clean and there is dry flour residue, you must not knead them with awake dough. Bad kneading of dry flour residue and dough will affect the fineness of dough.
4. Continue to knead the dough for 30 minutes after waking up. At this time, you will feel that the dough is already smooth and energetic. In fact, you can roll the dumpling skin at this time. However, in order to make the dumpling skin more energetic, it is best to wake up for three times and knead the dough for three times to fully wake up the dough. The rolled dumpling skin is vigorous and does not break. Jiaozi cooked it and took it out. The noodle soup was clear.
