Knead into a smooth dough (~8 min, the longer the better) then keep it wet with cover in RT. Wait for 30-40 min to let the dough become extensible.
Important: Heat denatures the wheat gluten protein and change the interaction between proteins, resulting the crispy surface after frying. Make sure the water is hot enough when contact to the flour.
Notice: Depend on the water absorbance of different brands of flour, more or less water could be added.
