Hi, is the baking powder used is the normal baking powder or double-acting baking powder? Also my dough doesnt seems to be gooey & soft.. can I add bit of water at any of the 4 kneading process ? (to make it soft and sticky)

[@aihsnirk]

hello, what if at the final stage i rest the dough only for 3 hours?

[@Hccai]

great video, as always! just one friendly tip: if you want to amp up your video, maybe add just a little bit of background music? but i love your recipes and the quality of your videos are great!

[@Seasaltwithfood]

Hey Hannah, thanks for the comment and tips. I might try to add some music for my future videos.

Koulu Koti I think should be okay...

[@joeymika1]

Can I replace baking soda and baking powder to dry yeast ?

[@MrLindatwp]

Hello:) in actual fact when you are frying the youtiao, you should keep on turning the youtiao with the chopstick. By doing this, the youtiao will be able to puff up nicely.

[@Seasaltwithfood]

Linda Tang Noted. Thanks.

[@some_random_girl1347]

Flavours Of Asia I have a couple of questions and ill really appreciate it if you answer them 1. How long can I keep the dough for?2. and if I can where do I store the dough?3. and last of all can I use a stand mixer to make the dough?

[@phojanesyhavong6375]

How fluffy do you want it..??

[@lindaang7814]

hi...you think its okay to let the dough rest overnite instead of 4 hour...if yes..should i rest it in room temp or fridge??? thanks and always love your video 👍👍👍❤❤❤

[@Seasaltwithfood]

I'm sure you can let it rest in the fridge, but make sure to bring it back to room temperature before proceed to the next step. Thanks.

[@lindaang7814]

Thank you 👍👍👍👍😘😘😘

[@huikhengchua4433]

What is the maximum time allowed for resting the dough in the final stage? Can it be more than 6hrs?

[@Seasaltwithfood]

Hui Kheng Chua 6 hours at room temp is ok. I think if it's more than that, then you shld keep it in the fridge, but bring it back to room temp before using.

After you cut into pieces, and and each pieces place one on top that part.. You can use toothpick dip water and strip a line on the piece the dough then place the other top so that it will stick together tightly.. That's the tips.. Thx for the video..

[@Seasaltwithfood]

+Edward Cham Thanks for the tips.

[@Seasaltwithfood]

Cesar II Sorry, I don't have the recipe for this cookie.

[@emiliofarfan5074]

do you have the recipe or a video for the flat youtiao that usually comes inside the famous JianBing chinese crepe ??

[@Seasaltwithfood]

Emilio Farfan Sorry, I'm not sure what it's, will try find out. Thanks for the comment.

[@foodlovers8543]

do u allow the dough to rest in the room temperature bc there is lots of dough resting?

[@Seasaltwithfood]

Yes, at room temperature. If you're working the dough at a hot and humid weather, maybe you can let the dough rest in the fridge at the last stage of "dough resting" (4 hours). Then bring the dough back to temperature (probably 30 to 45 minutes). Give it a try and see how it turn out.

[@foodlovers8543]

I will thank you!!!

[@iluvfood12]

i am going to add sugar to this recipe when I mixing all of the ingredients together

[@Seasaltwithfood]

Hope it turn out well for you...enjoy :-)
