Homemade version of chess piece baked cake
Chess piece baked cake, named after its shape, is a specialty of Tangshan, Hebei Province. It is said to originate from Chengguan, Fengrun County, Tangshan. After a hundred years of development, it has gradually become a unique flavor cuisine in Tangshan. There is also the story of Old Man Han and Old Xin Tou. Old Man Han sells pot oven baked cakes, and Old Xintou sells baked sweet potatoes, both of whom love to play chess and are a pair of chess friends. Both of them also like each other's food, in order to facilitate chess, Han Laotou specially "developed" a small cylinder oven baked cake for Lao Xintou. Once the yin and yang were wrong, Old Man Han put the pieces of winning old Xintou into the burnt cake prepared for Old Xintou, and Old Xintou was too focused on playing chess and accidentally ate the "car", so Old Xintou suggested that Old Man Han make the burnt cake into a piece-sized burnt cake. "Chess piece baking cake" was born. The outer crust is particularly thin, and the layers are clear, the crispy dregs, the filling is meaty and vegetarian, and the taste is sweet and salty.

Make puff pastry

Made of puff pastry
3) The form of puff pastry is very important, synthesizing a soft, viscous puff pastry. The volume ratio of the surface to the oil is approximately 3:2. It's like solidified lard.
Meat
4) Cut the pork belly into soybean-sized cubes, add 6g salt, 10g oyster sauce, 10ml light soy sauce, 5ml dark soy sauce, 10g chicken essence, 10g white pepper, 5ml sesame oil, 15ml cooked oil, 20g dry yellow sauce, 50g green onion, 5g ginger, stir well and marinate for about 15 minutes. Let it get the most out of your taste.
Roll out the dough
5) Do not knead the dough, directly on the sprinkled noodles panel and roll out into a dough skin of about 2mm. Spread out with puff pastry and spread well with your hands or spoon. This method is very suitable for novice operation, and the noodles are not easy to break the skin, and the distribution of puff pastry is more even.
Roll into rolls
6: Roll the dough from one end to the other.
Pinch the small agent
7) Roll into 10g-15g small agent.
Wrapped in meat filling
8: Pinch the small agent tightly at both ends, slightly lengthen and fold in half to the middle. And from folding this side in half, slowly press it into the dough skin with your hands. Wrap in the right amount of minced meat. Wrap it up in the way of a bun and buckle it upside down. Try not to leak the filling.

12: Put in the oven for the second time and bake for another 10 minutes.
13: The egg yolk is light and fluttery, and the surface of the dough is very dry. Break open the crust and you'll crisp off the dregs. And the skin is very thin, many layers. Full of meat filling, bite a mouthful full of flavor.
Tips:
1) Boiling water and noodles reduce the gluten nature of the noodles, bake out more crispy.
2) Try to choose fat and lean meat filling. It tastes more delicious.
3: Each oven has its own "temper", maybe my 240 degrees is not the same as yours. When baking, adjust the temperature and baking time according to the actual situation, and the first baking outside is slightly yellow.
4: Try to put a layer of oil paper in the baking pan, sometimes the chess pieces are not wrapped tightly will flow soup, put the oil paper can directly remove the oil paper, to prevent baking paste.
5: A small dose is slightly smaller, too big to become a puff pastry meat cake.
