1, base furnace, first of all, the furnace is built with bricks. The so-called cylinder furnace is to use a large water tank, and the selection of cylinders is very particular. The old cylinder, thick wall, large bottom, belly garden and smooth inner wall are the best. The cylinder body lies upside down, with the mouth of the cylinder facing outwards, fixing the big cylinder, finding a good angle, and the periphery is built with bricks to play a fixing role. The gap between the brick and the cylinder is at least 20 cm as the insulation layer, filled with plant ash, and the bottom of the cylinder is pestle with a circular hole, which is the outlet of the flue. The chimney is inserted, and the brick is laid in the cylinder. Basically, the cylinder mouth is divided into two semicircles, and the bottom is paved, showing that the cylinder furnace in front of it is.

2, dough mixing, the basic work of making cylinder furnace sesame seed cake is dough mixing, you must use good flour with moderate gluten, because after making sesame seed cake, stick it on the arched furnace wall, the flour will fall if it is not good, which will affect the shape and easily produce waste products. In order to make the sesame cake taste good, crisp and palatable, edible oil is added to the dough, which is called "base oil".

3, rub crisp, and after waking up, knead the flour into a long strip and roll it into a rectangle. Mix it with dry flour and soybean oil without adding water, which is crisp and golden yellow. Smooth the pastry into strips along the rolled rectangular surface, spread it evenly with the palm of your hand, then roll up the whole surface from the outside to the inner ring, rub it moderately evenly, and pick up the dough. When rolling the dough, put the two cross-sectional inner pits to prevent the pastry from sticking to the furnace and falling.

4, stuffing, Chinese cabbage is squeezed dry with a vegetable press, the meat is mixed, and seasonings such as big oil, sesame oil, onion, ginger and monosodium glutamate are added. Five, the package system is very important, you can't get angry, otherwise it will easily fall off, and the sesame seeds will be evenly stuck on the front.

5, ignition brush furnace, each furnace with charcoal 10 kg, such as after several consecutive furnace because of residual temperature, can be appropriately reduced firewood, hard miscellaneous wood as well, when the fire reaches a certain level, put charcoal, when the smoke clears, use a shovel to gather the fire, compact, smooth the charcoal ash into strips, the length is basically the same as the length of the cylinder, and then use local materials and sprinkle a layer of plant ash on the charcoal fire. Sesame cakes are attached to the inner wall of the cylinder with the back of hand, which is particularly hot when they are drilled inside and attached to the bottom of the cylinder. You have to put on wet sleeves and dry them when they come out. When the inner wall of the cylinder is covered, fire, split the charcoal fire from the middle, and fire for 40 to 50 minutes, during which time brush oil several times, so that the baked sesame seed cake is golden in color and crispy in taste. It should be noted that the fire falls into the charcoal fire continuously, and the fire reduces the soft bottom of the sesame seed cake, which must be controlled by experience.

6, out of the oven, freshly baked sesame seeds are the best, crisp and tender outside, crispy and delicious, and the top of the stove is evenly heated and tastes the best. I often hear the elderly buy sesame seeds and say, "Pick me two tops." That's what it means.
