The steps to make fried dough sticks at home are as follows:

Ingredients: 500g plain flour, 8g salt, 4g baking soda, 4g aluminum-free baking powder, 1 egg, 15g vegetable oil, room temperature water 280g, a little oil, 1 pot of oil for frying fried dough sticks.

Method: 1. Kneading dough: Mix flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder evenly, add water, oil, and eggs, and knead into a smooth dough. Do not knead too hard.

2. Refrigeration: Apply a little extra oil on the dough to prevent it from drying out, seal with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.

3. Cut into strips and stack them: Sprinkle flour on the cutting board, roll the dough into a long strip, cut into small vertical strips, stack the two together, and press firmly from the middle with chopsticks.

4. Fried fried dough sticks: When the oil temperature is about 70% hot, pinch both ends of the noodles, stretch them out and put them into the oil pan. Keep turning them to make the fried dough sticks expand quickly. Fry until golden brown and take it out!
