First make the puff pastry. In a dry bowl, add all-purpose flour, salt, five-spice powder, and soybean oil (it’s best to use soybean oil, if not, use other cooking oil instead) and heat until slightly smoking. Pour it into a bowl and stir it quickly with chopsticks. Because the pastry needs to be cooled before use, it needs to be made in advance. -

Today, I used a professional kneading machine from Moke, because the dough for making sesame cakes is very soft and difficult to knead, and kneading the dough by hand requires at least three kneadings and three wakings, which is very No trouble, using a kneading machine is much more convenient and saves time. The kneading cylinder can be disassembled and placed on a scale to weigh the ingredients. -

Put the dough ingredients into a kneading cylinder, including all-purpose flour, yeast powder, baking powder (optional), sugar, and water. -

Turn on the kneading machine, operate it on the touch screen, select "Chinese" for the kneading mode, and set the time to 15 minutes. The kneading machine works very quietly and stably. -

The changes in the dough in the tank can be observed at any time through the visual upper cover. The kneading strength suitable for Chinese pastries quickly forms a ball. The upper cover has a locking device, which is suitable for babies at home. The lid can be locked. -

The dough for making sesame cakes is very, very soft and difficult to knead by hand. This is what the dough looks like after kneading with a dough kneader. -

Take the dough out of the kneading cylinder, round it slightly, and let it rest for five minutes before use. -

Roll the dough directly into a rectangular sheet. Spread the cooled pastry evenly on the dough sheet. Roll it up along the narrow edge and cut it into five equal parts. Take one portion and pinch the two sides tightly. Fold the end down and tighten at the bottom, arrange it into a round shape, brush a layer of sugar water on the surface, dip it in white sesame seeds, press the rolling pin with your hands to roll it out slightly, a sesame cake green embryo is completed, cover the prepared green embryo with plastic wrap and let it stand Ten-minute sugar water: add a spoonful of white sugar to a small amount of boiling water and mix thoroughly. -

Preheat the pan in advance and brush it with oil. Place the rested sesame cake embryos into the pan, brush the surface with oil and fry until both sides are golden and cooked. -

Take it out of the pan and eat it while it’s hot. It’s especially delicious! Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. -
