Yellow Millet Flatbread

Yellow Millet Flatbread

　　Hard millet is dehulled, soaked in water, drained, ground into flour, and sifted. One quarter of the flour is scalded with boiling water to make a paste, which is then steamed in a pot. The steamed paste is combined with the remaining flour to form a dough, which is placed in a basin to ferment. Once fermented, an appropriate amount of alkaline water is added. A small piece of dough (about the size of a steamed bun) is pressed into a flat, round shape with both palms, stuffed with prepared red bean paste or date jam, and then steamed in a steamer basket until cooked. It can be served immediately. The flatbread has a golden color, a delicate and soft texture, is sweet in taste, and is extremely delicious.
