Detailed Steps for Making Latest Hollow Fried Dough Sticks

Weigh the flour and put it in a bowl. Weigh the water, add salt, and weigh the baking powder. Mix the baking powder into the flour and stir well. Start kneading the dough by pouring all the water into the bowl and kneading it by hand, from bottom to top, until the dough becomes lumpy.

Pour oil onto the dough and knead it vigorously by folding it over itself repeatedly. The way to knead the dough is to keep folding and pressing it. The time for kneading the dough can be shorter if there is less dough, and longer if there is more dough.

Knead the dough for three to four minutes. After the first kneading, cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes. Then knead it again for the second time, cover it and let it rest for another 30 minutes. After that, divide the dough into portions and let it rest again.

Adjust the water temperature to about 15 degrees Celsius according to the temperature. Use warm water to knead the dough. Place the dough on the table and let it rest for about 12 hours if the temperature is around 20 degrees Celsius. Use cold water to knead the dough if the temperature is above 25 degrees Celsius and put it in the refrigerator. The specific resting time still depends on the amount of dough and the temperature of the refrigerator.

Do not knead or fold the rested dough. Only stretch it out and flatten it. The fried dough sticks cannot be fried as a single stick. Two small portions cannot be too sticky, which will affect the expansion. They also cannot be separated too early, which will affect the expansion or cause them to become dough sticks. When making fried dough sticks, be slow at first. Brush a water line and fry one stick at a time. Do not brush too many sticks at once.

Fry them together. The oil temperature should be between 180 and 200 degrees Celsius. Fry the dough sticks in the pot for a little over two minutes. The color of the dough sticks should be just right when the oil temperature is just right. The proportion of the cut dough sticks is 2.5 in width, 1 in thickness, and the length can be adjusted according to personal preference. Note that this is a proportion, and the size of the fried dough sticks should be adjusted according to personal preference.
