Ingredients

white flour 500 g

pork back fat 250 g

starter dough 100 g

caster sugar 200 g

fine salt 0.5 g

baking soda 5 g

rendered pork fat (lard) 25 g

Instructions

Make the fat-sugar-oil filling

Wash the pork back fat thoroughly, mince it into a fine paste, place in a bowl, add the caster sugar and fine salt, mix well to make the fat-sugar-oil filling.

Mix the dough and ferment

Pour cold water into a bowl. First crumble the starter dough and add it in, then add the flour and mix together until smooth, and let it ferment naturally. When the dough has risen to about eighty percent, take it out, place on a board, add the dissolved baking soda, knead evenly, then roll into a long strip.

Roll out the dough and spread the filling

Use a rolling pin to roll the strip into a sheet about 0.66 cm thick, 50 cm long, and 40 cm wide, then evenly spread the sugar-oil filling on it. First fold the outer-side skin inward by one-third.
