Knead on the panel constantly press exhaust, see almost kneaded to the size of the original state of the original non-fermentation, on behalf of the basically has been exhaust gas. Roll the dough into a long tube with both hands, and then dose it down.

How to Ferment Dough:

1) It is obviously bigger in size

2) It is rich in honeycomb when it is torn open3) The hole doesn't shrink back when pressed down by fingers or fists

If you fulfill all these, it means that the dough has been fermented well;

If the dough has been fermented, then it is not too big.

If the dough is over-fermented and has a sour taste, you can add some lye (baking soda) and knead it in to neutralize the taste;

The first thing you need to do is to use the chopsticks to press down on the center of the triangles, be careful not to break the bottom of the triangles, pull out the chopsticks, fix the bottom of the triangles with one hand, grab the top of the triangles with the other hand, and rotate the triangles with the two hands, and then press down on the top of the triangles with a jujube, rotate the triangles with both hands and make them come out with a nice shape.

Do shape slowly, do not vigorously and anxious Oh;
