Step 1

Let’s make the pastry first. In a dry bowl, add all-purpose flour, salt, five-spice powder, and soybean oil (it’s best to use soybean oil, if not, use other cooking oil instead) and heat it until it smokes slightly. Pour it into a bowl and stir it up quickly with chopsticks. Yes, because the pastry needs to be cooled before use, it needs to be made in advance.

Step 2

Today I am kneading the dough using a professional kneader from Moke, because the dough for making sesame cakes is very soft and difficult to knead, and kneading the dough by hand requires at least three kneadings and three wakings, which is very troublesome. It is much more convenient to use a kneading machine. Save time, this kneading cylinder can be disassembled and placed on a scale to weigh materials conveniently Illustration of how to make five-spice sesame cakes (no oven required) 3

Step 3

Put the dough ingredients into the kneading bowl, all-purpose flour, yeast powder, baking powder (optional), sugar, and waterIllustration of how to make five-spice sesame pancakes (no oven required) 4

Step 4

Turn on the kneading machine, touch the screen, select "Chinese" for the kneading mode, and set the time to 15 minutes. The kneading machine works very quietly and stably. Illustration of how to make five-spice sesame cakes (no oven required) 5

Through the visual upper cover, you can observe the changes of the dough in the tank at any time. The kneading strength suitable for Chinese pastry can quickly form a ball. The upper cover has a locking device. If there are babies at home, the lid can be locked. Illustration of how to make five-spice sesame pancakes (no oven required) 6

Step 6

The dough used to make sesame cakes is very soft and difficult to knead by hand. This is what the dough looks like after kneading it with a kneading machine. Illustration of how to make five-spice sesame cakes (no oven required) 7

Step 7

Take the dough out of the kneading bowl, round it slightly, and let it rest for five minutes before use. Illustration of how to make five-spice sesame pancakes (no oven required) 8

Step 8

Roll the dough directly into a rectangular sheet, spread the cooled pastry evenly on the dough sheet, roll it up along the narrow edge, cut it into five equal parts, take one portion and pinch both sides to seal, fold the two ends down at the bottom to tighten, and arrange it into Round shape, brush one layer on the surfaceDip the sugar water into the white sesame seeds. Press the rolling pin with your hands to roll it out slightly. A sesame seed embryo is completed. Cover the prepared embryo with plastic wrap and let it sit for ten minutes. Sugar water: add a spoonful of white sugar to a small amount of boiling water and mix well. Illustration of how to make five-spice sesame pancakes (no oven required) 9

Step 9
