【Homemade coarse grain cake】
Ingredients: cornmeal, plain flour, cooking oil, eggs, sugar, salt, yeast
Here’s how:
1. Find a clean large bowl, pour about 180 grams of cornmeal into the bowl, and blanch it with boiling water to make the taste more delicate. Add a small amount of boiling water several times, blanch the cornmeal, and mix it with chopsticks into a pimple shape.
2. When it is not hot, beat two eggs, stir the eggs, mix well with cornmeal again, mix well and add 4 grams of yeast. Stir slightly, then add an appropriate amount of white sugar, which can be added according to your preference.
3. Continue to stir well, then add 180g of ordinary flour. Add in multiple portions, stirring as you go. The ratio of flour to cornmeal is 1:1. This texture is particularly fluffy and not rough.
4. When it is mixed into a large flocculent, then knead the dough. If the hands are sticky, add a little more flour to continue kneading, knead into a ball and put it on the board, sprinkle some dry flour on the board, and knead it thoroughly. Until you knead this non-sticky dough, put it in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Relax for 15 minutes. You can also mix the dough at night and put it in the refrigerator to ferment overnight, so that you can operate it more quickly in the morning.
5. When the time is about the same, remove the dough again and roll it out with a rolling pin. This dough has half cornmeal, so it has less gluten, and it can be rolled out thinly with a little rollout. Roll out to a thickness of about half a centimeter. Then brush the dough with a thin layer of cooking oil and sprinkle with a little sugar. If you like to eat salty, you can also sprinkle it with salt.
6. Then roll it up slowly, then rub it gently, rub it tightly and cut it into steamed buns with a knife. After cutting, close the incision. Then clump it up into a circle. In this way, all the other doughs are lumped into a circle.
7. Next, roll the dough into thick strips one by one and gently roll out into an oval shape. Be careful not to roll out too thinly, just have a thickness of about 1 cm. After all rolled out, place on a chopping board and cover with a layer of plastic wrap to ferment. After about an hour, the size of this cake has become larger, and it has a fluffy feeling when picked up, and it is fermented.
8. Brush a layer of cooking oil in the electric cake pan and put the fermented embryos into the pot one by one. Turn on medium heat and fry until one side is set. Brush a layer of oil on top, cover and continue to simmer for a minute or so. Turn them over after opening the lid and continue to close the lid and sear. After repeating this a few times, the tortilla is golden brown. Gently press with a spatula, the dough rebounds easily, and the dough is cooked.
