Vietnamese Hollow Bread


Ingredients:

2 cups all purpose flour
2/3 cup warm water / 150 ml water
1/2 cup sugar plus 1 Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp instant yeast
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
Sesame seeds
1 bag vanilla

1. Take 1/4 cup warm water from hot/cold fountain - or regular water - microwave for 25-30 seconds until the water is warm. Add in 1 tbsp sugar and the 1 1/2 tsp instant yeast. Let the yeast double or bubble up. This will take about 10 minutes.

2. Mix the left over sugar with 100 ml and stir until the sugar dissolve.

3. Mix well the flour with baking, salt and vanilla, add sugar water to flour mixture then yeast water. Knead into a soft dough. If it's too dry then add in just a little bit more water (3 Tbsp)


4. Cover and let the dough rest for at least couple hours (3-4 hrs) or overnight until the dough double or triple in size. (you can put in oven with or without light, be sure to cover dough)

5. Take the dough out and knead for a few minutes. Then divide dough in 1/2 - then each half in 6 balls. (Cover those that is not being used.)

6. Dip the ball in the sesame seeds on both sides. Be sure to coat flour to rolling pins and working surface and roll the balls into flat circles. The flatness should be less than 1/2 inch. The thicker the circles the thicker the filling will be. If it's too thin then you'll have nothing in the middle.

7. Heat a frying pan with enough oil to fry. Slide the flat dough into the oil and it will start to float. Gently try to push it with your chopstick or (vot) and it should puff up. After it puff up then flip to fry the other side. Fry until golden. Frying should be quick so don't leave it alone or it'll be black!
