Bean paste stick cake

Overview

There are many types of pastries that are commonly eaten. The most common egg yolk pastry is also a type of pastry, but the preparation of egg yolk pastry is relatively simple among the pastries. After being baked, the dough is baked at high temperature, the tissue expands, and the fat between the layers melts, which separates the two pieces of dough and makes it crispy. The baked dough will crumble when touched, giving it a particularly crispy texture. When making puff pastry, two parts of dough are usually prepared: water-oil dough and puff pastry. The two doughs are combined and superimposed. After rolling out, they are overlaid and covered to form layers. Although the operation is not difficult to repeat, if you are not careful or the relaxation time is not enough, it is easy to break the puff pastry and mix the puff pastry. The taste of the puff pastry will not be good.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Prepare the ingredients. Don't replace vegetable oil with butter and lard. Their crisping effect is stronger than vegetable oil, and their aroma is also sufficient. You can choose bean paste according to your own preferences. Only egg yolks are used for eggs, which are used to color the surface.

   

2. 2 Mix the water and oil dough ingredients evenly, let it sit for 10 minutes, then knead it into a smooth dough, then cover it with plastic wrap and let it rest for half an hour. While it is resting, we will make other preparations.

   

3. 3 Mix the ingredients in the pastry into a dough. Remember that the butter is in a softened state at room temperature, not in a liquefied state. Place the mixed dough on oil paper, use a rolling pin to roll it into a square of about 30cm and 15cm wide, wrap it up and put it in the refrigerator.

   

4. 4 After the water-based pastry has been relaxed, sprinkle a little dry powder to prevent sticking. Use a rolling pin to roll it into a 37CM square with a width of 32CM. Place the freshly refrigerated pastry upright on one side, cover the other side, and pinch to seal.

   

5. 5 Fold 1/3 of the dough sheet down and cover with another 1/3 of the dough sheet to complete the first folding. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 15-25 minutes.

   

6. 6 Roll the dough into a rectangular shape again, remember to apply even pressure to avoid breaking the dough when rolling.

   

7. 7 Make another 1/3 fold and cover the remaining 1/3. This is the second fold. After it is done, cover it with plastic wrap and let it rest for half an hour.

   

8. 8 Use a rolling pin to roll the relaxed dough into a rectangular shape, about 45CM long and 35CM wide. Use even pressure to avoid breaking the dough.

   

9. 9 Place the rose bean paste rolled into a rectangular shape into the dough sheet, cover the bean paste from top to bottom, and pinch the edges slightly. At this time, the oven starts to preheat at 180 degrees with the upper and lower tubes.

   

10. 10 Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into small strips with a width of 1cm, pinch both ends with both hands, and rotate it a few times. The primary embryo of the pastry strips is ready. Place the prepared primary embryo into a baking pan lined with oil paper.

    

11. 11 Stir the egg yolk evenly, sift it once, spread it on the bean paste strips, and spray a thin layer of water on it.

    

12. 12 Place in the middle rack of the oven and bake at 180 degrees for 15-18 minutes.

    

13. 13 The baked bean paste stick cakes are super crispy and delicious when eaten hot or cold. The spiral puff pastry is layered layer by layer, which is very beautiful. Remember to seal and store the uneaten puff pastry. It will last for a long time! Have you learned it? Let’s follow Greedy Cat’s lead!
