Chinese Shaobing, selected!
Recently, the American media published an article titled "The 50 Most Delicious Breads in the World" and Shaobing, a delicacy from China, was selected.
The article begins with the introduction that Rubel, the author of "Bread: A Global History," believes that it is not necessary to formulate a strict definition of bread. "It does not need to be made from any specific type of flour."
Beyond their unforgettable taste, breads of all types lie in their unique ingredients, iconic status and the sheer, heartwarming pleasure of eating them.
The article describes in detail the production process and taste characteristics of sesame cakes.
"Professional shaobing masters spin and beat the dough to make it so thin that some shaobing can have 18 or more layers. Sweet or savory fillings can be added to the shaobing in northern China, ranging from black to black Tahini to bacon or peppercorns.”
