Introduction to stone cake

Stone cake is a kind of traditional brand of Han nationality, which is popular in Shanxi and Shaanxi. Stone cake is also known as shiyumo. It was called stone cake in Tang Dynasty and natural cake in Ming and Qing Dynasty. There are obvious ancient stone cooking remains. The human use of fire in the Yellow River has experienced a long historical process. It should be said that the appearance of stone cooking has a certain relationship with the consumption of grain food such as human grain and wheat. The cooking method mainly uses the characteristics of slow heat transfer and uniform heat distribution of rocks, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling the fire. When making, first heat the stone, and then put the white flour or bean flour on the stone directly. Its taste is crisp, salty and fragrant.

The practice of stone cake

1. Put salt, baking soda, eggs and yeast into flour, add water and knead into a smooth dough, leave at room temperature for 30 minutes, and then refrigerate;

2. At noon, when I came home from work, I divided the dough into small dosage forms, rolled them into thin slices (the thickness of the dough can be controlled by myself), and pressed some sesame seeds on them;

3. Put the stones into the baking tray and bake for 20 minutes in a 200 degree oven. Heat the stones first;

4. Take out half of the stone with a spoon. Be careful when the stone is very hot;

5. Trowel the stone in the baking tray, put the dough on the stone, cover the other half of the stone, and press it gently with a small shovel;

6. Bake in oven at 200 ℃ for 10 minutes;

7. The taste of stone cake can be added according to personal preference. I prefer salty taste.
