Home-Style Pan-Fried Flatbread

Method9 steps

1. 1

   Mix and Rest the Dough

   和面醒面

   Pour 400g flour into a bowl. Mix half with cold water and half with hot water, stirring until it forms shreds, then knead by hand into a ball. Cover with cling film and let the dough rest for 40 minutes.

   将 400g 面粉倒入盆中，一半用凉水和面，一半用热水和面，搅拌成面絮，用手揉成团。用保鲜膜封起来，醒面 40 分钟。

   ⏱45 min

   • 💡 The half-tempered dough method ensures the flatbread has both chewiness and softness.半烫面法可以保证饼皮既有韧性又柔软
   • 💡 Make sure the dough rests long enough, or it will be difficult to roll out.醒面时间一定要够，否则面团不好擀开
   
2. 2

   Prepare the Oil Paste

   准备油酥

   When there are 10 minutes left before the dough is done resting, prepare the oil paste (hot oil paste works better).

   离醒面完成时间还有 10 分钟时，制作油酥（热油酥效果更好）。

   ⏱5 min

   • 💡 Hot oil paste creates clearer layers and a more fragrant flavor.热油酥能让层次更清晰、味道更香
   
3. 3

   Divide the Dough

   面团分份

   Do not knead the rested dough. Press it slightly, then cut it into four pieces with one horizontal and one vertical cut.

   醒好的面不用揉，稍微摁一下，用一横刀一竖刀将其分成四份。

   ⏱1 min

   • 💡 Do not over-knead the rested dough, as it can develop gluten and become tough.醒后的面团不要过度揉搓，以免起筋导致口感变硬
   
4. 4

   Spread the Oil Paste

   涂抹油酥

   Roll the dough into a ball, then roll it out into a flatbread about the same size as the electric griddle. Take 1/4 of the oil paste and spread it evenly over the surface of the flatbread.

   搓圆，擀开，擀成与电饼铛大小差不多的饼，取 1/4 的油酥，将饼表面涂抹均匀。

   ⏱2 min

   • 💡 Spread the oil paste evenly, including the edges.油酥要涂抹均匀，边缘也要涂到
   
5. 5

   Roll and Shape

   卷制造型

   Cut along the radius of the flatbread, then roll it from the outer edge into a cone shape. Pinch the tail of the cone tightly to prevent the oil paste from leaking out.

   沿饼的半径切开，从外圈将其卷成圆锥形，然后将圆锥尾部捏好，防止油酥外漏。

   ⏱2 min

   • 💡 Pinching the tail tightly is the key step to prevent oil leakage.捏紧尾部是防止漏油的关键步骤
   
6. 6

   Roll Out Again

   二次擀制

   Press down on the pointed tip of the cone to flatten it, then roll it out again into a flatbread about the same size as the electric griddle (about 3mm thick).

   按压面饼圆锥尖的地方，将其压扁，然后再次擀成与电饼铛大小差不多的面饼（厚度约为 3mm）。

   ⏱2 min

   • 💡 Roll with even pressure so you do not crush the layers.擀饼力度要均匀，不要把层次压死
   
7. 7

   Preheat and Cook

   下锅预热

   Preheat the electric griddle, then coat it with cold cooking oil (hot pan, cold oil). Place the rolled flatbread on the griddle, brush some oil on the top of the flatbread and spread it evenly (to lock in moisture), then close the lid.

   将电饼铛预热，涂上凉油（热锅凉油），将擀好的饼放入电饼铛中，将饼的上方也刷点油，涂抹均匀（锁住水分），盖上盖子。

   ⏱1 min

   • 💡 Brushing oil on top helps lock in moisture and prevents the flatbread from becoming too dry.饼上方刷油可以起到锁水作用，防止烙出的饼太干
   
8. 8

   Flip and Cook

   翻面烙制

   Cook on high heat for 1 minute, open the lid, flip the flatbread, and cook for another 1 minute.

   大火烙一分钟，打开盖子，将饼翻个面再烙一分钟。

   ⏱1 min

   • 💡 Cooking quickly on high heat reduces moisture loss.使用大火快烙可以减少水分流失

   Repeat to Finish

   重复完成

   Repeat the above steps to finish cooking the remaining three flatbreads.

   重复以上动作，完成剩余三份饼的烙制。

   ⏱5 min

   • 💡 Cover the cooked flatbreads with a clean cloth to keep them warm.烙好的饼可以用干净的布盖住保温
