Tips:
/water/
The amount of water in the formula is a reference value, different brands of flour will have different water absorption, so the exact amount of water depends on the actual situation.
/Oil skin/
1. The oily crust should be moderately hard and malleable. If the dough is too dry, add water several times to adjust it. Don't add all the water all at once. The dough is too soft and then adding flour to adjust it will be more troublesome.
2. After kneading the oily skin and before using it, wrap it with plastic wrap to prevent the surface from drying out.
3. The oily crust needs to have enough relaxation time, especially after the second roll, the plastic wrap must be covered to relax, otherwise the crust will easily break when it is wrapped, and the baked crust will be unsightly.
/Mochi filling/
