Why can't youtiao be fried?

People love to eat fried dough sticks, especially people in the northern region who cannot do without fried dough sticks for every breakfast. However, it is not always safe to eat fried dough sticks bought outside, so people choose to cook them at home, which is more scientific and safer. However, many people feel that the fried dough sticks cannot be fried when cooking, so they need to pay attention to adjusting the dosage.

1. Knead all the ingredients together. It is easier to use a bread machine if you have one.

2. After the dough is kneaded, take a fresh-keeping bag, pour a little oil, knead it evenly, put the dough in, tie a knot at the bag, let it stand, and take it out when it is twice as large;

3. Gently place the dough on the panel, use your fist to gently spread the dough into a thin pancake, cut it into 2 cm wide and about 15 cm long dough pieces, leave it on the panel, cover with plastic wrap, and ferment for 10 to 20 minutes. Apply water on one small portion (a small amount is enough to soak up two pieces of dough), take another small portion and place it on top, and use chopsticks to press a mark;

4. Fry in a pan until golden brown, remove from the pan and place on kitchen paper to drain the oil before eating.

2. The gluten content of flour varies from one manufacturer to another. When adding the last 1/4 cup of flour, add it little by little. The final dough should be about the same softness as pancake dough. If it is too thin, add more flour until the dough is smooth and does not stick to your hands or the bowl.

3. After the dough has risen, you should handle it with care and knead it as little as possible to prevent the bubbles from escaping.

4. The oil temperature for frying dough sticks needs to be higher, about 180 degrees. You can try putting a small piece of raw dough into the pot first. If the raw dough floats up immediately after being put into the pot, you can start frying it. Otherwise, the oil temperature is low, the dough absorbs too much oil and affects its expansion.

4. When kneading the dough, do not overlap it too many times to avoid the gluten being too strong, and do not use too much force to avoid the gluten breaking. The prepared dough needs to be left to stand for half an hour before rolling it into strips, otherwise the fried dough sticks will be stiff and not crispy enough. Also, when folding the dough, if bubbles are produced, use a toothpick to pick them out, otherwise the fried dough sticks will not have a smooth appearance.

6. Knead all the ingredients together. It is easier to use a bread machine if you have one.

7. After the dough is kneaded, take a fresh-keeping bag, pour a little oil, knead it evenly, put the dough in, tie a knot at the bag, let it stand, and take it out when it is twice as large;

8.

Apply water on one small portion (a small amount is enough to soak up two pieces of dough), take another small portion and place it on top, and use chopsticks to press a mark;

9. After frying, eat while hot.

10. Recommended pairing: Eat with soy milk or dip the fried dough sticks in soy milk. Or eat with grits. Other types of porridge are also acceptable.

11. The preparation method of fried dough sticks and fried cakes is the same, and they taste crispy and delicious.

12. Fried dough sticks have a high ornamental value, with a golden appearance and long shape, which looks very beautiful.
