The making of moon cakes includes the steps of making pastry, stuffing, filling, forming and baking. Among them, the higher the gluten content, the easier it is to increase the toughness and elasticity of the dough, increase the difficulty of operation, affect the shape of the product to a certain extent, make the product shrink and deform, and the gloss of the cake crust is poor, not smooth, even wrinkled, and the oil return is slow.
However, the low gluten content of moon cakes will make the water absorption of flour too low, which makes the dough sticky and lacks toughness and elasticity. During the baking of moon cakes, sugar begins to dehydrate at high temperature, resulting in caramelization reaction. At the same time, the reducing sugar and protein have Maillard reaction, which makes the surface of moon cakes attractive.
