Hello everyone, I am Xiao Gao Jie. Today I will show you how to make flat bread quickly.
Let's make the dough first.
All-purpose flour flour. Boiling water.
This is a 1/3 measuring cup. Two times, the total is about 150 grams of water.
Adding boiling water to dry flour makes the bread softer and breaks its gluten which makes easy to roll out the flatbread.
It is too hot to touch the flour right now. Put the lid on, let cool a bit and then knead the dough.
Dissolve yeast in water.
It's easier not to use the yeast. Adding yeast means you add a time limit.
Be careful not to ferment the dough for too long.
This little yeast will improve the texture of the bread.
Add melted butter to increase the flavour of the bread.
A little bit of salt at the end.
Knead it into a dough, knead all the ingredients evenly.
The gluten is weak. It is hard to knead it to smooth surface right now.
Wait a little, 15 minutes or so, come back and gently knead it. It's very smooth now.
Rest it for 45 minutes.
After 45 minutes.
Poke a hole, break it, and roll it long.
half and half again.
Then divide it into 5 parts. Mark the dough with the knife, and then cut.
20 small pieces are all in same size.
Press.
Put some dry flour in a pot. Then put the pressed dough inside.
Take one.
As it turns, the dough is rolled out.
One more time.
Try to roll the dough into the same size.
Start assembly.
Brush the oil. Every corner is brushed, including the sides.
Then use the oil side to stick the dry flour.
Place this side up.
Repeat this step, brush oil, stick flour.
Oil side up, stack the dough one by one.
The last piece of dough, stick the oil on the chopping board, and put it directly on top.
If you roll the cake now, it will shrink back. Put the lid on and let it rest for 10 minutes, then roll it out again.
Press it down with your hands first, then turn it over after a few presses.
Press a few more times then turn it over again.
Until it doubles in size. Now use the rolling pin.
Flip over after a few rolls.
Be impatient, roll it slowly.
Finally, roll it out to a size bigger than your hand.
Brushing oil and sticking flour method prevents oil from coming out during rolling. After it's done, the edges are clean.
Put it on a hot pan.
Turn it a few time to heat it evenly.
When the bottom is cooked, turned over. The top layer is already separated from the rest.
Tear it gently, and one flatbread is ready.
Then turn it over, another flatbread is cooked.
If it is too hot, use a spatula to separate the bread, then tear off the bread with your hand.
We brushed each dough with enough oil. At this time, it is very satisfying to tear off the cooked bread one by one.
If you didn't brush enough oil, now the bread is cooked, but it can't be torn off.
Then this process will not be very satisfied.
Be careful not to cook the bread to dark brown color, otherwise the crust will become brittle and easy to crack.
10 minutes, 20 bread, all ready to serve.
Stack them one by one, put the lid on to keep the steam inside, which makes the bread softer.
All the bread are complete in shape. Oil-stick-flour method is effective to keep the bread separated.
With 40 grams of butter added in the recipe, the bread smells very nice too.
Take one from below.
Soft.
Rip apart.
thin.
It tastes better as you chew.
It's delicious to use this flatbread to wrap vegetables or meat, or eat it on its own.
If you haven't finished eating the day before, you can use it to make breakfast the next day.
Add chopped green onion and salt to an egg and beat. Pour on the hot pan.
Cover with a piece of bread.
When the egg is almost cooked, turn it over.
After the dough is fried, it is very crispy.
You see, a very simple and delicious breakfast is ready.
