After waiting for four years, director Chen Xiaoqing finally brought his "tip of the tongue 3" - "Flavor of the World" to debut
(This seems a little disrespectful to the director of the real season of "China on the Tip of the Tongue", but there is no way that "Tip of the Tongue 3" I only remember a big iron pot...)
The "Tip of the Tongue" series has always been about the China behind the food, and "Flavor of the World" has set its sights on the world.
Spanning six continents and more than 20 countries and regions, we can look at the cultural commonalities behind food. The same ingredients, similar cooking methods, coincide in different time and space, colliding with the same delicious taste.
Food and geography are closely related, no matter the large field of view or small view, some combinations will never change, like Xinjiang and grilled bread.
In Tongue Tip 1 and Tip of Tongue 2, director Chen Xiaoqing has already filmed Xinjiang roasted bread twice. In the third episode of "Flavor of the World", "Rolling Red Dust", we once again saw the grilled bread in Xinjiang.
(It can be said that this is the third time that Teacher Chen has baked Amway bread...) ）
Grilled bread is the most important food for all ethnic groups in Xinjiang and has a history of more than 2,000 years.
Naan is a type of round dough cake. It is first fermented with flour, kneaded into dough blanks, and then baked in a special fire pit (commonly known as a naan pit). Common ones are meat buns, oil buns, nest buns, sesame buns, slice buns, Hillman buns and so on.
For Xinjiang people, the bread is not only a food that can be fed, but also has a deep cultural heritage behind it.
In Uyghur areas, from the naming ceremonies and bed shaking ceremonies of Uyghur birth to marriage customs and funeral rites, there must be the participation of the naan. When the Uighur groom and the bride are married, they are to eat steamed buns with salt water, which symbolizes the blessing of sharing and growing old with white heads.
(If you can't understand the Xinjiang people's feelings for naan, you can think of dumplings for northeasterners, eating festivals but festivals, and eating them in large and small festivals.) ）
Today, Tui Weijun will use the oven to bake a naan ~ the method is not very complicated, if you watch the drama and watch hunger, you can come to nibble on the naan ah ~
You'll want to prepare:
360 g of medium gluten flour, 200 g of warm water, 1/2 tsp of allspice powder, 1/2 tsp of peppercorn powder, 2 tsp of salt (about 3 g), 4 g of yeast powder.
—step1—
Add five-spice powder, pepper powder, salt to the flour, (if there is pepper salt, you don't need to put pepper powder...) ）。
Also add 4 grams of yeast powder, the yeast should not be put together with salt (salt will kill yeast).
Slowly pour 200 grams of warm water and stir while pouring, because the water absorption of each flour is different, and the amount of water used is also different, so slowly add water until it is stirred into a uniform dough.
Knead the dough into a smooth, moderately soft and hard dough. Then close the lid and leave to a warm place to ferment for 1 hour. I put it on a radiator, about 20 degrees.
—step2—
At the time of fermentation, let's prepare the onion water, cut the onion into cubes and soak them in the right amount of warm water. Use before baking.
The dough is 1.5 times to 2 times larger than it was. Take the haired noodles out of the basin and you can see the honeycomb of the brushed wire.
Knead the dough again to empty the air inside. Cut everything in half and roll one of them round.
After rolling round, roll into a dough cake ~ This step is to determine the taste of your bread, want to eat a harder can be rolled thin, want to eat the outside crisp and soft inside, you can leave the appropriate thickness.
—step3—
Place the rolled dough in an oiled pizza dish and press tightly on the sides.
Then use a toothpick to make a small hole in the bottom of the cake, the density can be larger, be sure to pierce through, so that the baking process will not bulge. (If you're serious, you're going to have to poke it, but I didn't buy it...) Just tie it with a toothpick ~)
Then brush a layer of onion water on the cake and sprinkle with onions, then sprinkle sesame seeds, brush the onion water, the sesame seeds are not easy to fall off.
—step4—
Preheat the oven to 230 degrees, place the pizza dish on the middle floor of the oven and bake for 18 minutes.
Bake until the surface of the naan is colored and ready to bake.
Freshly baked buns, let loose a little, cut into pieces and eat.
The outer layer is crispy and soft on the inside, with the feeling of eating French bread, and the strong wheat aroma is mixed with the spice flavor, which makes the taste layers of the naan very rich. No other side dishes are needed, and the bread alone feels very fragrant.
Like today's grilled buns?
