Spiced Salt Crispy Guokui

　　Spiced Salt Crispy Guokui is a type of flour-based food. Characteristics: golden in color, crispy and fragrant crust, delicious taste. Cooking process: pan-frying and baking. Using the same method but omitting salt and Sichuan peppercorns, and instead using brown sugar as the filling, creates another flavor variation known as “Brown Sugar Crispy Guokui.”

　　Mix vegetable oil and flour evenly to make the crisp layer. Four parts hot dough and six parts raw dough are mixed, kneaded, and fermented into leavened dough, then salt and baking soda are added and kneaded evenly.

　　Using a ratio of three parts crisp dough to seven parts leavened dough, the leavened dough is used to wrap the crisp dough, flattened into a circle, then rolled into a square with one horizontal and one vertical stroke. It is folded in two layers and repeatedly rolled until rolled into a cylinder. The seam is sealed and flattened, sesame seeds are applied, and it is rolled into a circle. It is then pan-fried on a flat griddle until yellowish-white, and finally baked in an oven until cooked.

　　Key operational points: dough portions should be uniform, the semi-finished guokui should have consistent thickness; when baking in the oven, pay attention to flipping to prevent burning; ensure even wrapping of the crisp layer and avoid breaking the crisp layer when rolling.
