- Mix brown sugar with flour and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
- In a stand mixer, add flour, salt, instant yeast and water, then mix at low speed for 8-9 minutes until the dough is soft and smooth.
- Cover with a wet cloth or plastic wrap to rest for around 30 minutes to 45 minutes depending on your temperature until the dough is ⅓ bigger than the previous one. (The surface is completely smooth but there is no Honeycomb texture inside).
- Knead the dough again to pinch the air out. Then roll the dough into a uniform long log around 4cm in diameter. Cut the long log into 14 equal portions.
- Wrap the powdered filling in.
- Brush a thin layer of oil in a casting iron pan，place the bread in one by one, cover the lid and then fry each side for 6-8 minutes over slow fired.
