Wrapped dough
12.
Put it into the mooncake mold with the picture film installed (put a little flour in the mold in advance to prevent adhesion). My mold is 100 grams
13.
Press it with your mouth down on the baking tray covered with greased paper, and apply a little force. The pattern is not clear without any force, and the mooncake is deformed after the force is over.
14.
For the pressed mooncake, spray a little water on the surface of the mooncake before baking. Bake the upper layer at 160 degrees for 5 minutes and then take it out and spray water again for another 5 minutes. Then take it out and brush the egg mixture and continue baking for 10 minutes until the surface is golden Method and temperature attack reference, my oven only has two floors)
Tips:
1. Put the pie crust in the refrigerator, and take it out after the filling is done, so that it won't touch your hands much after wrapping.
2. I use cooked egg yolks. Most people use them raw. I buy them and bake them in the oven before using them.
3. Before baking, spray water on the surface and bake it for about 5 minutes. Take it out and spray water again, so that the baked mooncakes are not easy to dry and crack. There is no egg wash on the recipe. I changed it myself. The cake crust painted with egg liquid is very yellow. This is the moon cake that was baked at 11 o'clock last night. The pictures I took in the morning are already a little bit oily, and it will look better if I put it for a few days.
