Bai Ji Mo

Bai Ji Mo

A semi-leavened Shaanxi flatbread with a firm, dry dough that is pan-seared then baked until crisp outside and tender within, made to split and hold braised meat.

Instructions

    Add baking powder to the flour, and use chopsticks to stir the flour and yeast evenly.

    While pouring in the clear water, continuously stir with chopsticks until it forms a flaky dough. The dough should be slightly firmer than when making steamed buns. Knead the flaky dough into a smooth dough by hand, and place it in a warm spot to ferment until it doubles in size. When making Bai Ji Mo, the dough does not need to rise too much.
