Tips:
Precautions
1 When the water-oil dough is awake, the surface should be covered with plastic wrap to prevent the surface from cracking
2It doesn’t mean that the thinner the roll is, the better, the thinner, the more layers, and it’s easy to crack when the roll is finished
3 The high-gluten flour I use is from Triumphal Arch, and the low-gluten flour is from Hong Kong Meimei brand, for your reference only
4 This recipe can make 8 finished products. This recipe is also summed up by many methods that I have tried. The crispy recipe I tested is the most satisfying recipe for me. I hope it can help everyone's confusion.
