Dough ingredients: 200g high-gluten flour, 300g T55 (medium-gluten flour), 200g water, 1g salt, 40g white sugar, 50g honey,40g butter, 2 eggs,4g yeast, 3g baking powder Butter ingredients:

75g flour,40g salad oil, 75g malt sugar The recipe for Crispy Honey Twisted Puff 1. First, make the butter dough by mixing salad oil and malt syrup evenly until white; then mix in flour.

Butter dough is best made one day ahead to ensure better flakiness when making twisted puffs. I made it last night, which was sticky and not easy to handle.

2. Add all the dry ingredients except butter into a bowl, gradually adding water as needed until you get a smooth dough. Incorporate butter and knead until the dough can stretch; let rest for 20 minutes. Prepare an ungreased baking tray by applying oil to prevent sticking.

3. Cut the dough into several long pieces, then cut each piece into small portions of about 50g.

Place these pieces on the greased baking tray with their cut sides up.

4. Put a small portion of butter dough onto each piece of dough.

5. Fold the butter dough inside the dough, then knead it into a long strip. It's not necessary to stretch too much now; you can do this later when the dough needs to be stretched for making twisted puffs.

After resting, take one and stretch it as long as possible because of its extensibility.

6. Seal both ends tightly.

First, twist it in the opposite direction on the board.

7. Then, grab both ends to twist them around each other, inserting one end into the other.8. Place the twisted dough pieces onto oiled baking trays.

9. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature until doubled in size.

10. Heat oil in a pan to 9°F/45°C, then switch to medium heat and fry the twisted puffs until they are evenly colored as desired.
