Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Put all the ingredients in the dough into a bread machine and knead it into a smooth dough. Cover the surface with plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes. Then knead the ingredients in the dough with your hands and mix it into a ball. Cover the surface with plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

   

2. 2 When the oil skin and pastry are relaxed, start preparing the filling. Use a scraper to cut a small piece of bean paste and weigh it with the egg yolk 40 grams. (The egg yolks are processed in advance, soaked in corn oil overnight, then placed on a baking sheet lined with oil paper, spray white wine on the surface of the egg yolks, and bake at 180 degrees in the middle rack of the oven for five minutes.)

   

3. 3 Wrap the egg yolk into the bean paste and roll it into a round shape. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside.

   

4. 4 Divide the relaxed oil dough and pastry dough into 16 equal parts, roll them into balls, and cover the surface with plastic wrap.

   

5. 5 Press the watery dough into a round shape with your hands, and put the pastry in the middle of the dough.

   

6. 6 Push the tiger's mouth upward and tighten it.

   

7. 7 Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest for about 15 minutes. You can cover the surface with a piece of wet gauze.

   

8. 8 Roll the relaxed dough into a ox tongue shape, roll it out from the middle upwards, and roll it out from the middle downwards, being as gentle as possible.

   

9. 9 Roll up from top to bottom.

   

10. 10 Roll everything up and cover it with plastic wrap, press a damp cloth on the plastic wrap and let it rest for 15 minutes.

    

11. 11 Roll out the relaxed puff pastry again, using the same gentle movements.

    

12. 12 Roll up from top to bottom, cover with plastic wrap, press a damp cloth on top of the plastic wrap, and let rest for 10 minutes.

    

13. 13 Press the middle, fold both ends inward and pinch tightly.

    

14. 14 Roll out into a slightly thin round shape.

    

15. 15 Wrap in egg yolk bean paste filling.

    

16. 16 Push the tiger's mouth upward to tighten the mouth.

    

17. 17 Place with the seam facing down.

    

18. 18 Place on baking sheet, spaced apart.

    

19. 19 Brush the surface with egg yolk liquid and sprinkle with black sesame seeds.

    

20. 20 Place in the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake at 180 degrees for 30 minutes until the surface is golden brown.

    

21. 21 When the baked egg yolk puffs have cooled slightly and are no longer hot to the touch, transfer them to a cooling rack to cool.

    

22. 22 After being completely cooled, store it in an airtight seal and eat it in two to three days. If the skin becomes soft, you can put it back in the oven.
