Several days ago, someone asked me how to make oil sticks. Seeing this question, I suddenly remembered that recently, I often posted videos on my of frying oil sticks and sugar cakes. It seems that recently, many people have been staying at home and often make some specialty snacks. In fact, it's not just, I also often make cold skin, oil sticks, and sugar cakes for my children to eat at home, even I would turn flour into various breakfast pancakes. They are all very flavorful. Especially the oil sticks, they are not only loved by children, but also make family members drool when they see them.
So now, someone must be curious, since fried oil sticks are so delicious, how should they be made? In fact, the process of making oil sticks is very simple, and even many housewives are better than me. This is because the key step in frying oil sticks is kneading the dough, this step not only kneads the dough well, but the post-fermentation is also very important, if it is over-fermented, the oil sticks will not be fluffy and may even have a bitter taste.
Below, let's talk less and share today's specific steps and details for frying oil sticks. I will express them in the simplest and most understandable language so that everyone can understand and see clearly. Let's go with my little buddies!
Preparation,
Main ingredients: Medium-strength flour one pound,
Accessories: Two eggs, three grams of salt, one hundred grams of milk, three grams of yeast,
Steps for frying oil sticks,
Step 1, First, put flour and water into a basin and stir until it's a cottony texture (it's best to add water in batches so that you can better control the amount of water), then gradually add salt, eggs, sugar, milk, and yeast and stir. Knead into a smooth dough,
Step 2, Then seal it with plastic wrap and place it in a warm place to ferment for about half an hour. The dough expands about twice its original size, with many small air holes on the surface. If you poke it with your finger, it won't return to its original softness, indicating successful fermentation,
Step 3, Take it out and knead it for one minute (this step is called deflating the dough), knead until the dough is shiny and smooth, apply vegetable oil to the outside, and then wrap it in plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator at a low temperature for five hours (twice fermentation makes the dough more flavorful and smoother,
Step 4, Next, take out the dough and cut it into a uniform thickness and shape, then cut it into strips about two centimeters long, two strips together, and then press down with a chopstick in the middle (don't press too hard, otherwise it will be difficult to fry well after it's fried, and the entrance will be hard), making the two strips tightly attached,
Step 5, Turn on the fire to heat the oil, add water to dry the pot, and add vegetable oil. The oil temperature should be 50% hot (the oil temperature cannot be too high, otherwise it will easily burn), reduce the heat and add the oil sticks for deep frying (use a chopstick to constantly stir when frying, so that it will be fried more evenly), fry until the surface is golden brown, take it out and cool it slightly before eating!
Summary of frying oil sticks,
Through the above steps, I believe that many people have a deeper understanding of how to fry oil sticks. In fact, there are many ways to make oil sticks, and the method I shared this time is relatively simple. Its overall steps can be divided into two steps: the first step is fermentation, this step not only controls the fermentation time, but also controls the amount of yeast,
The second step is to open the oil pot, in addition to controlling the oil temperature, the oil selection is also very important, it is best to use odorless oil, such as salad oil, bean oil and rapeseed oil have a strong taste,
