Tips

  1. Different brands of flour have slightly different water absorption properties. It is recommended to reserve 10 grams of water first and add it appropriately depending on the condition of the dough. No need to use gloves to knead the dough, and the finished product will still be soft and delicious! The raisins can be replaced with other ones according to personal preference. The temperature of each oven may vary, please adjust accordingly.
