Dragon Fruit Pie
1.
First, prepare the ingredients needed to make this pie. Pitaya must be made of red hearts. Since its flesh is rose-purple, it is enough to put half a dragon fruit in 500g of flour to improve the color. Baking powder I often use is the high-active dry yeast that I can usually buy, and it rises quickly. Every time I make pasta, I miss the old yeast taste when I was a kid, but unfortunately there is nowhere to find it now.
2.
Clean the outer skin of the red dragon fruit, cut the flesh into small cubes for later use, then use a knife to cut off the rough rhizome bumps, save the thick part of the skin, add a little water and put the dragon fruit pulp into the food processor. Become a rose pink paste.
3.
Dissolve 5g of yeast powder with warm water and pour it into the bowl for kneading, then pour the flour and red dragon fruit paste in sequence.
4.
Tips for making noodles, you are not used to the bread machine, and you don't like the flour that is sticky. You can add a small amount of water to the basin while mixing the flour and yeast dragon fruit with chopsticks at a constant speed into a fluffy shape.
5.
Use chopsticks to mix the flour evenly, then knead the flour into a dough with your hands. At this time, you will see uneven color transition between the flour and dragon fruit. It doesn't matter, the dough will be perfectly pink after it is fermented. Cover the mixed dough with plastic wrap and place it in a warm place and let it stand still.
6.
The time of the noodles is affected by many external factors. It is difficult to estimate the fixed time. Because of the cold in winter, the time of the noodles is relatively longer than that in the spring and summer. Therefore, it is recommended to put the mixed noodles in a warm place. When heating, put the basin in front of the heater. If there is no heating, you can put the basin next to the warm stove, which can speed up the process of dough fermentation.
7.
When the dough has been fermented to twice its size, knead a little bit of dry flour with your hands to pear the dough. When you see the honeycomb-shaped noodles, the dough fermentation process is complete and you can proceed to the next step of making and processing.
8.
Sprinkle the dry flour evenly on the side wall of the basin, so that the dough can be cleanly and completely moved out of the basin and begin to fold. This step is very important. Sprinkle a layer of dry flour on the chopping board and knead the dough repeatedly to squeeze out the bubbles in the dough to make the dough smooth, smooth and tough. The subsequent steps will be easier to process.
9.
Divide the chewy and smooth dough into equal-sized noodles. Those who don’t often make pasta can estimate the size of the noodles with a knife. Those who are skilled can directly divide the dough into equal-sized noodles with the palm of the hand.
10.
Knead the divided noodles individually into a small smooth dough, flatten it with your hands, and use a rolling pin to roll it into a round dough like a dumpling wrapper. Of course, the pastry wrapper is thicker than the dumpling wrapper.
11.
Roll the dough into a nest-like shape with a thin back edge in the middle, use a spoon to put the filling of honey red bean into the nest in the center of the crust, pinch the edges together and press flat with your hands, and gently roll it into a thin and even thickness with a rolling pin The pie dough will do.
12.
Put the finished pitaya pie on the cover for the second proofing. This process is very important so it is not recommended to omit it, because the pastry that has not been proofed twice will have a harder taste, and the second proofing will be done. The pastry is more soft and chewy, but the taste is exceptionally smooth and smooth.
13.
After the electric baking pan is energized, turn on the upper and lower fire switch, heat the pan on medium heat until the palm feels hot, pour a layer of cooking oil to heat it, and put the oil into the proofed fat dragon fruit pie, like crispy crust You can also brush a layer of cooking oil on it. Put the pie neatly on the lid of the electric baking pan and wait for the soft pie.
14.
Heat the electric baking pan on both sides for about 3 minutes, and you will be able to smell the unique raw wheat fragrance of the baking pan. Turn off the power and turn on the electric baking pan. The dragon fruit pie will be cooked on both sides with yellow and crisp sides, and a hot pot of pink and purple. Does the pie feel tempting?
15.
The sweet and soft dragon fruit red bean pie is ready. It can be used as a staple food or as a snack. It is also quite simple to make. You can try it at home if you have time.
Tips:
Tips: The skin of the dragon fruit can also be used as waste. Juicing together with the pulp is a healthy natural pigment. The smoother and tougher you knead the dough, the softer and firmer the pie will be. The inner pot of the rice cooker is used for baking the noodles, because the non-stick coating makes it easier to take out the sticky dough.
