Chinese (Bing) Flatbread (Chinese Style Cooking Recipe)

Chinese (Bing) Flatbread (Chinese Style Cooking Recipe)

Welcome to Xiao's Kitchen. My name is Xiao Wei, ever since my Mother taught me how to cook at an early age, I have always had a strong passion for Cooking. My family still live in Inner Mongolia in the northern part of China, where I visit each year and learn new Asian/Chinese recipes.

Bing is a wheat flour-based Chinese food with a flattened or disk-like shape, similar to the French concept of a galette. These foods may resemble the flatbreads, pancakes, and unleavened dough foods of non-Chinese and western cuisines. Many of them are similar to the Indian roti, French crêpes, or Mexican tortilla, while others are more similar to Western cakes and cookies.

Bing is usually a casual food and generally eaten for lunch, but they can also be incorporated into formal meals. Both Peking duck and moo shu pork are rolled up in thin wheat flour bao bing with scallions and sweet bean sauce or hoisin sauce. Bing may also have a filling such as ground meat. Bing is commonly cooked on a skillet or griddle although some are baked.

Ingredients:
400g Plain Flour
10g Yeast
10g Sugar
220ml Warm Water

Method:
1. Combined the yeast with the loot warm water & stir, then leave to stand for 5 minutes
2. Place the flour and sugar in a large mixing bowl
3. Then gradually add the water and yeast in with the flour and mix
4. Knead into a smooth dough, then cover and leave in warm area to ferment, leave until it doubles in size
5. Knead the dough again for 2 minutes, replace the cover and leave until it doubles in size again
6. Dust a clean surface with flour
7. Place the dough on work surface, make a hole at the centre of the dough and then into a ring
8. Work the ring to ensure an even thickness at about 5cm diagonally
9. Cut the ring into 8 equal sized pieces, and then work each one into a ball
10.Use a rolling pin and roll each piece into about 1cm in thickness
11.Heat a frying pan over medium heat
12.Place the flatbread in the pan, cover and cook for about a minute each side – you should hear a hollow sound when patting it, then it's cooked
13.Place onto a dish or a large bowl, serve with stews, stir-fry or soups
