　　Jiaxian Oil Spiral

　　A type of noodle-based food, categorized as a kind of baked flatbread. It is called "Oil Spiral" because the bread is shaped in a spiral form. Once baked, the outer crust becomes crispy and offers an exceptionally delightful texture.

　　The Oil Spiral is made with refined flour, warm water (with a small amount of salt and alkaline water), first kneaded into a firm dough and then softened by dipping in water. After resting for two hours, the dough is divided, spread into long sheets on an oiled surface, brushed with melted lard, stretched thin as it's spread, sprinkled with chopped scallions, salt, and ground Sichuan peppercorn, then rolled into a dough bundle, flattened into a round shape, brushed with lard on the griddle, and flipped to cook. Once it shows signs of browning, it is placed in the lower baking ring of a flat oven to bake until fully cooked. It has a golden, glossy color, with layers as thin as feathers, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, exuding a rich aroma of oil.
