- 1
Make the Half-Boiled-Water Dough
半烫面制作
Place the flour in a bowl, add boiling water and stir into a shaggy mass. Add cold water and knead into a smooth dough. Cover with a damp cloth and rest for 20 minutes.
面粉放入碗中,加入开水搅拌成絮状,再加入冷水揉成光滑面团,覆盖湿布静置 20 分钟。
25 min
- Boiling water weakens the gluten, making the dough softer.开水烫面可以降低面筋韧性,使饼皮更软
- The resting time must be sufficient.醒发时间必须充足

Portion and Roll Out
下剂擀制
Divide the dough into portions of about 100g each, roll into balls, and flatten into thin sheets.
面团分成每份约 100 克,搓圆,擀成薄片。
5 min
- Try to roll to an even thickness.尽量擀得厚薄均匀

- 3
Brush with Oil for Layers
抹油起酥
Brush the surface evenly with cooking oil, sprinkle with salt, and roll into a snail shape. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
表面均匀涂抹食用油,撒上盐,卷成蜗牛状,松弛 10 分钟。
15 min
- Brush the oil evenly; this is key to creating layers.抹油要均匀,这是分层的关键

- 4
Shape Again
二次成型
Roll the dough out again into a thin, evenly thick pancake.
面团再次擀成薄饼,厚度均匀。
3 min
- Use a light touch so you don't flatten the layers.力度要轻,不要把层次压死

- 5
Pan-Fry the Pancake
煎制饼皮
Heat a pan with oil and pan-fry on low heat until both sides are golden and bubbling.
热锅中倒入油,小火煎至两面金黄起泡。
5 min
- While frying, gently press inward with a spatula to make the layers more distinct.煎的过程中可以用铲子轻轻向内挤压,使层次更明显

- 6
Assemble the Final Dish
组合成品
Layer the fried pancake with fried egg, lettuce, ham, cheese slices, and other toppings, then roll up.
煎好的饼依次铺入煎蛋、生菜、火腿、芝士片等配料,卷起即可。
2 min
- Keep the total weight of toppings under 100g.配料总重建议控制在 100 克以内

Extra tips
- Mixing boiling water and cold water when making the dough helps improve the dough's tenderness.使用开水与冷水混合和面,有助于提升饼皮柔韧度。
- The dough should rest for at least 20 minutes; otherwise, it will be difficult to roll thin.面团醒发时间不宜少于 20 分钟,否则不易擀薄。
- Adjust toppings to taste, but keep the total weight under 100g.可根据个人口味增减配料,建议配料总重控制在 100 克以内。
- Leftover raw dough can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Bring to room temperature and roll flat before use.剩余生饼皮可冷藏保存 24 小时,使用时回温擀平即可。
