Tips:
If you knead the dough by hand, you must not be in a hurry. Pay attention to check the state of the dough. The light-transmitting film can be pulled out of the dough in the expansion stage, but it is not strong and easy to crack irregularly;
The moisture of the bean dregs must be squeezed clean, otherwise it will easily affect the dry humidity of the dough;
If you like, you can add your favorite red bean paste to the rolled dough, so that it becomes a stuffed bread with a better taste.
