The method of baiji bun is very simple, you only need to re-knead and exhaust the awakened dough, divide it into dough, roll it into dough, and cook it in the pot.

But in terms of production techniques, there is still a certain amount of exquisiteness.

To make white bread, you need to use a fish belly rolling stick.

The so-called fish belly rolling pin is a rolling pin with a thick middle and thin ends, also called an olive cane.

This kind of rolling pin is generally used to roll dumpling wrappers and wonton wrappers in the south.

But in Shaanxi Province, it is a rolling pin that specializes in making white Ji buns.

There is a fish belly rolling pin in the set of rolling pins in the dream space, but Li Yi is not easy to take out for the time being, so he has to go back at night to receive a courier so that he can bring it over tomorrow.

However, it is not uncommon to have a fish belly rolling stick, and Li Yi has already bought one in the market, which is just right to use.

After kneading the dough evenly and kneading it into a thick end and a thin strip, Li Yi used a fish belly rolling stick to roll out the thick end and thin the thick end.

Then, he rolled up the dough in long strips from thick to fine.

The long strips of dough were rolled into croissants, and then Li Yi pressed the dough vertically into a dough cake with the palm of his hand.

At this time, he pressed the rod on the belly of the fish with both hands and rolled it out on the bread.

The shape of the fish maw rolling pin makes the dough quickly rolled into a bowl-shaped "noodle bowl".

Subsequently, Li Yi turned the noodle bowl over and used a fish belly rolling pin to roll out a reverse noodle bowl.

At this time, the noodle bowl is still only a shallow shape, and it does not look deep.

In order to deepen the depth of the noodle bowl, Li Yi picked up the noodle bowl, pinched the edge of the noodle bowl, and made a deep bowl shape.

After making five or six in a row, Li Yi took out a flat-bottomed iron baking tray, put it on the stove, and opened the fire to heat it.

Taking advantage of the heating time, Li Yi made five or six more noodle bowls.

Seeing Li Yi's operation, Huang Xiaoming asked curiously: "Aren't you going to make steamed buns?" Why is it rolled out like this? ”

Li Yi pinched the shape of the noodle bowl and explained: "The authentic white Ji bun has to be an iron ring tiger back chrysanthemum heart."

The purpose of making a bowl is to make the dough cake have a more perfect pattern. ”

As he spoke, he felt the temperature of the iron baking tray with his palm, and then pressed a noodle bowl on the iron baking sheet.

"Why don't you brush some oil?"

Huang Xiaoming was a little puzzled.

"No, you don't."

Li Yi put the noodle bowl in the iron baking tray and explained: "Bai Ji Bao is a dry noodle cake, and what you eat is pure wheat fragrance, and you don't need to brush the oil." ”

"Won't that stick to the pan?"

Huang Xiaoming was puzzled.

"No, it won't."

Li Yi pointed to the iron baking tray and explained: "This is a cast iron baking tray, which has been used for barbecue before.

After frying something, this kind of pan will form a layer of oil film and fill the fine pores of the cast iron, so there is a thin layer of oil and will not stick to the pan. ”

As he spoke, Li Yi had already put the twelve noodle bowls into the iron baking tray.

After a few minutes of baking, Li Yi picked up the noodle bowl that had been put in first.

The side below it that touches the iron baking tray has formed a faint burnt yellow pattern, and there are a few faint circular markings in the middle, which are all faint burnt yellow and slightly hard to touch, just like the surrounding circles.

Pointing to the lines and the round spot in the center, Li Yi explained: "This is the iron ring and the chrysanthemum heart."

The chrysanthemum heart was just put into the baking tray and pressed it with my fingertips on the bottom of the noodle bowl.

Pressing it will make the place where it is pressed have a bulge, so it has more contact with the bottom of the baking sheet, and the chrysanthemum heart is formed. ”

As he spoke, he turned the noodle bowl over, took the position at the bottom of the bowl, and asked Huang Xiaoming: "There is another name for this side, called Tonggong, do you know why?" ”

"Why?" Huang Xiaoming looked curious.

Li Yi didn't explain, just held the noodle bowl and gently threw it towards the baking sheet.

Kiss!

The bowl fell upside down at the bottom of the pan and was smashed into a flat sheet.

The air inside the bowl is expelled, and there is a clear "pop" sound.

Hearing this, Huang Xiaoming said "huh" in surprise: "It really sounds a bit like the sound of a gong!" ”

"Do you want to try it?"

Li Yi gave up his position.

Seeing this, Huang Xiaoming stepped forward, wanting to learn Li Yi's operation, and picked up the second noodle bowl with his bare hands.

But he tried several times, but he retracted his hand and couldn't pick it up.

"It's a little hot."

Huang Xiaoming was a little embarrassed.

"Don't be afraid, it's cold on the top, and it can't be burned."

Li Yi encouraged.

Huang Xiaoming tried two more times, and finally picked up the noodle bowl.

Following Li Yi's example, he held the bottom of the noodle bowl with his hand, looked at the position, and fell down hard.

Kiss!

The baking tray and the dough made another crunching sound, even clearer than Li Yi's just now.

"Awesome."

Li Yi smiled and praised.

"I played with this as a kid."

Huang Xiaoming was very happy: "When I was a child, I used to play with children in mud, make mud bowls out of mud, and throw them on the ground to see who fell loudly.

In my hometown, it's called the Ringing Bowl, and I'm the best at playing this, and no one has me falling loudly. ”

As he spoke, he couldn't get enough of it, picked up another noodle bowl and threw it on the baking tray.

After falling a few times in succession, he stopped unsatisfied.

"I haven't played this for many years, but I actually experienced it again."

Wu Lei watched it fun, and he also came over and tried twice, but he didn't fall as loudly as Huang Xiaoming.

Zhao Jinmai curiously fell one, but smashed the good noodle bowl.

"I'd better do it!"

Huang Xiaoming stepped forward with a smile, took over the responsibility, and smashed the remaining noodle bowls into dough cakes.

By this time, the first dough was already baked.

Wu Lei smelled the wafting fragrance of his face and couldn't help but exclaim: "It smells so fragrant!" It's the aroma of pure noodles! It's a bit like the aroma of freshly baked bread in a bakery. ”

"This is the wheat aroma of white bread."

Li Yi pressed the dough with his hand and wiped it on the baking tray to make the dough fit more closely to the bottom of the baking sheet.

Smelling the fragrance of wheat, he was also in a good mood: "Meat sandwich bun, although the meat comes first, but in my personal taste, the bun is the key."

The meat is not unpalatable no matter how you cook it, but if the bun is not done well, even if it is good meat, it is not enjoyable to eat. ”

After baking for a while, he turned the first dough over.

The side near the bottom of the baking tray already has a yellowish and crispy marking, which looks very beautiful.

"This is the back of a tiger."

Li Yi flipped through the dough cake and muttered in his mouth: "Burnt yellow and crispy two skins, iron ring tiger back chrysanthemum heart, this is the authentic white Ji bun." ”

The camera is taking a close-up from the side.

In the live broadcast room, there are already viewers in Shaanxi Province who have sent barrages.

"Lao Shaanxi passed by, comment, this steamed bun, I have nothing to say, I can't find fault, it's too authentic."

"All I can say is that this level can be opened at the door of my community."

"That's right, the iron ring tiger back chrysanthemum heart, this is the most authentic white Ji bun."

"The old Shaanxi people who are deep and drifting are so greedy for this mouthful, only when they leave their hometown do they know that the bun is really the soul! It's so hard to eat a bite of authentic meat buns! ”

"Brother Yi, don't add braised pork, I'll teach you, make some beef, cut and slice it, stir-fry it with green onions and garlic, then add bean sprouts, shredded green peppers, and then put cumin! Spicy! After it is fried, it is sandwiched into the bun, and I will tell you, don't mention it! Cumin sandwich bun is the god in the hearts of Lao Shaanxi! ”
