Sea Salt Scallion Floss Roll [Baking with Beiding Oven]
A savory cake roll is irresistible, especially with a hint of spicy meat floss. This recipe uses five eggs, making it a fluffy and soft roll that doesn’t require additional filling. The recipe employs the tang-mian (cooked dough) method, making the cake body extremely soft, less prone to cracking, and break-resistant. One important note: Do not use crunchy meat floss; instead, opt for the soft kind. Crunchy floss tends to go soggy over time. This recipe is for one 28*28 cm gold pan. Use eggs weighing approximately 60-65g with the shell.
Ingredients
Steps
Start by sifting the low-gluten flour and set aside.
In another bowl, pour in vegetable oil and milk.
Heat and then cool to 70°C. Heating and cooling control the liquid's temperature, preventing excess gelatinization of the flour caused by residual bowl heat.
Quickly pour in the flour and mix it into a doughy mass.
Separate egg yolks and whites, and add the yolks to the bowl.
Stir into a smooth and delicate yolk batter.
Next, whip the egg whites. Add all caster sugar, sea salt, and a few drops of lemon juice to the bowl in one go.
Whip until soft peaks form, leaning slightly stiff with small hooks.
Add 1/3 of the meringue to the yolk batter.
Mix evenly.
Add half of the remaining meringue.
Mix evenly again.
Finally, add all remaining meringue to the yolk batter.
Gently fold into a smooth and delicate batter.
Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
Pour the batter into the pan from a height of 30cm to eliminate some bubbles.
Spread the batter evenly.
Sprinkle scallions on the surface.
Next, sprinkle the meat floss.
Place into a preheated oven. This uses Beiding oven at 165°C on the middle-lower rack for 30 minutes. For Simens ovens, use 150°C for 35 minutes. Adjust timing to suit your oven. The cake is ready when tapping on the surface produces no noticeable rustling noise.
After baking, drop the pan gently to release excess steam, then remove the cake from the pan.
Once cool, peel off the parchment paper.
Roll it up using a rolling pin.
You will get a very soft roll that is crack- and break-resistant.
