Hong Kong style toast

Overview

It seems to be a simple recipe, but the texture of the toast is very good. It is still very soft after being stored for two days and has not aged at all. It is indeed a recipe from a master. I have made two Hong Kong-style toasts in a row, and I like to eat them by tearing them with my hands.

  12. Roll it up from top to bottom, about 2 to 2.5 turns. Don't roll it too tightly to give the dough room to ferment.
