Why can't tapioca flour knead into a ball
The water should be added little by little, and if the fluid is loaded, add more powder until it can solidify, and if it's too dry, dip the dough in a little water and continue to knead. Tapioca doesn't make a soft dough, it makes a harder, drier dough.
Another method is to use boiling water to mix the dough, also add water little by little, slowly will be kneaded into a very q qi bouncy dough. The reason is that the boiling water cooks some of the tapioca flour and the dough becomes soft.
Why Tapioca Flour Doesn't Dip
Because the ratio of branched-chain starch to straight-chain starch in tapioca raw starch is as high as 80:20, it has a very high spiked viscosity. This characteristic is suitable for many applications. Also, tapioca starch can be modified to eliminate the viscosity to produce a loose structure, which is quite important in many food processes.
How to knead tapioca flour into dough
1, first of all, the flow of tapioca flour from the pot scooped up in a thick-bottomed milk pan, and add the right amount of hot water (just a little just wet enough) tapioca flour with water can not be kneaded into dough after the rescue.
2, heat the tapioca over medium heat and stir until the tapioca becomes hot, then remove from the heat, pick up a small amount of tapioca and knead it, knead it into a soft dough, then add a small amount of tapioca and knead it into a complete dough. If the kneaded dough is too wet, add a little more tapioca, be sure to add a small amount of small amount, if it is too dry, use your fingers to stick a little hot water full of kneading into the dough, until the dough is soft and not sticky hands can be used.
