hello everyone this is Gao. very often I'm asked which brand of flower I use in
the video usually this is the one Five Roses. actually the brand name is not
so important in dough making today I'm using a different flour
this is a very common yeast you can find on the market add warm water and knead
it into a dough you can knead it for a long time about 10 minutes to make it
smooth or you can let it rest for 10-15 minutes first and then come back to knead
the dough again it is much easier for the dough to develop this smooth texture
if you rest the dough first. Cover it and ferment for about one and half hours
now let's cut some green onions
you can use these chopped onions directly to make the rolls but if you
have some time and you can fry them first it will taste much better
when the green onions start turning color remove them from the heat let it
cool down to the room temperature one and a half hours later the dough is ready
first step is to punch the dough so the air can come out. knead the dough for three minutes
after kneading the gluten becomes tight again and it is hard to
roll it out that is okay cover it and let it rest for about 15 minutes
come back to work on it again roll it into a flat sheet spread on a single layer of
green oil. Now you fold it, three folds are enough between each folding press it
down to remove the air bubbles inside
spread the oil on the top as well cut a narrow strip and also a wider strip.
lay the arrow on the top of the wide . use the chopsticks to press it
down in the middle stretch lengthwise turn around
twisted two times with the help from the other hand press it down now we made a
very nice hemisphere shape with lot of layers be careful don't press it too
hard to break the dough if you feel the dough is too hard to stretch into a
hemisphere shape you may rest the dough for about five minutes and come back to
work on it again put a lid on. and final proof them for about one hour
start from cold water when you see the steam come out from the steamer
set up your timer for 15 minutes give it few minutes before you open the lid once you turn
off the heat wow they came out perfectly with lot of
layers let's open one the green onion smells so good and it is very nice and
soft in the middle
this is Gao. thanks for watching and see you next time
