HAPPYTIME all-purpose flour – 300 g

Granulated sugar – 12 g
Salt – 5.4 g
Ammonium bicarbonate – 12.6 g
Vegetable oil – 12.6 g
Water – 240 g
Place HAPPYTIME all-purpose flour (300 g) and yeast (0.5 g) in a mixing bowl.
In a separate container, dissolve salt (5.4 g), sugar (12 g), vegetable oil (12.6 g), and ammonium bicarbonate (12.6 g) in water (240 g).
Pour the liquid mixture into the flour and yeast mixture. Knead until the dough is smooth and well combined.
Cover and rest the dough for approximately 4 hours. During resting, fold the dough every 1 hour by flipping the dough from top to bottom and bottom to top. Repeat this twice during the resting time.
Once rested, divide and roll the dough into long strips, approximately ¼ inch thick. Flatten to a uniform width of about 5 cm.
Cut into 3 cm-wide pieces. Each piece will be around 5 x 3 cm in size.
Dip a chopstick or skewer in clean water, press gently along the center of one dough piece, then place another piece on top. Press the middle to stick both together and gently stretch.
Heat oil to 180°C (medium heat).
Fry the paired dough sticks, turning frequently until they puff up and turn golden brown.
Remove from oil and drain excess oil before serving.
