Homemade Small Fried Dough Sticks

Homemade Small Fried Dough Sticks

Mini youtiao with an airy, hollow interior, made from an overnight cold-proofed dough leavened with baking powder, stretched, doubled, and fried until puffed and deeply golden.

Instructions

  1. 1
    Step image

    First, mix the flour with baking powder and leavening agent evenly, then mix the salt and water evenly and gradually pour it into the flour, stirring into a flaky texture, and then knead into a relatively soft dough.

    Place it on a non-stick baking tray lightly greased with a little cooking oil.

    Place the laminated item in the refrigerator's cold storage section (do not put it in the freezer) overnight.

    The next morning, take it out from the refrigerator's cold storage to return to room temperature.

    No need to knead the dough, roll it into a rectangular sheet, and trim off the irregular edges.

    Cut into even strips.

  7. 7
    Step image

    Apply some water vertically on one strip in the middle of the dough sheet, then stick the other strip to it, and press the middle vertically with chopsticks.

    It felt a bit long while frying, so I cut it in the middle.

  9. 9
    Step image

    Heat the oil in the pan, then put in the dough sticks to fry (because they were cut in the middle due to their length, the other end looks a bit messy).

    Flip and fry until golden and puffed.

    Fried three large dishes, while the family members who were working or attending classes were eating as they cooked.

    Step image

    A thin layer of powdered sugar was sprinkled on the fried dough sticks, making the sweet and salty taste richer.

    Step image

    The fried dough sticks are golden in color, with a fluffy texture, even pores, and an enticing crispy aroma. Freshly fried and eaten with soy milk or tofu pudding for breakfast is the choice of many people.
