Homemade Breakfast Mini Fried Dough Sticks

Homemade Breakfast Mini Fried Dough Sticks

Mini youtiao made from repeatedly folded and rested dough, chilled overnight, then fried to a shatteringly crisp shell with airy, chewy strands inside.

Instructions

  1. 1
    Step image

    Put the flour and various types of flour into a bowl, then mix evenly.

  2. 2
    Step image

    Add one egg to the water and stir evenly.

    Add egg water to the flour and stir until it forms a flaky texture, then fold into a dough and add 15g of cooking oil to continue folding.

    Fold the dough from the edges toward the center and knead repeatedly 3 times, letting it rest in the center for 10 minutes each time before the next folding and kneading.

    Step image

    Wrap the kneaded dough for the youtiao in plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator to chill for 6 to 8 hours.

    After a few hours, take out the well-fermented dough and let it return to room temperature.

    Open the film.

    No need to knead the dough anymore, just roll it directly into a long strip.

  9. 9
    Step image

    Cut into strips.

    Step image

    After applying water between the strips, fold them over each other and press along the lines to form the dough for youtiao.

    Step image

    Because there wasn't much oil in the pot, the surface of the oil was narrow, and the dough sticks were cut into small pieces.

  12. 12
    Step image

    When the oil reaches about 50% heat, put the youtiao dough into the pan to fry.

    The chubby little fried dough sticks are golden and very cute, light and fluffy, with a crispy texture, and very appetizing as a breakfast.
