　　The oil-spin rolls and crispy flatbreads of Long County are also two local specialties. The oil-spin roll is baked in a charcoal-fired oven using leavened dough, rolled up with crushed walnut and peanut bits—fragrant but not greasy, crispy and delicious. The oil-spin roll is about the size of a regular flatbread, thick around the edges and thin in the middle, with the outer ring crisped to a crunch through baking, giving it a very unique flavor.

　　Long County crispy flatbreads have a flaky crust and sweet filling. They are made by baking oily dough with a sugar-based filling.

　　Dog-tongue pastry is a type of bread similar to the oil-spin roll, but it is much larger, very crispy, and topped with ground walnut crumbs. Its flavor makes it especially popular among both teenagers and seniors, and it is deeply loved by the people of Longzhou.
