Share a simple tutorial for making homemade five-nut mooncakes to meet everyone’s expectations. Homemade mooncakes not only have thin crusts and ample fillings, but also have a delicious taste and a simple production process.
First, prepare a basin, pour in 260 grams of inverted sugar syrup, 6 grams of alkaline water, and 90 grams of corn oil, mix well. Then, add 380 grams of low-gluten flour, stir with chopsticks to form crumbs, then knead by hand into a dough, be careful not to knead excessively causing the dough to become tough. Flatten the dough, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it sit for an hour to relax.
Next, enter the production phase of the five-nut filling. Take a large bowl, combine 130 grams of crushed peanuts, 30 grams of melon seeds, 35 grams of crushed walnuts, 30 grams of raisins, 50 grams of candied winter melon strips, 40 grams of white sesame seeds, 40 grams of black sesame seeds, 70 grams of sugar, 140 grams of cooked flour, 30 grams of pumpkin seeds, along with 80 grams of water and 40 grams of cooking oil, mix all the ingredients well. Finally mix in 20 grams of sweet bean paste, divide into 50-gram portions for each filling.
After the dough has relaxed, divide it into 50-gram portions as well. Take a piece of dough, flatten it, place the five-nut filling on top, gently wrap and pinch it, the technique can refer to relevant video tutorials. Dust the surface of the wrapped mooncake with a little cornstarch, then press it into the mooncake mold and remove it.
At this point, the mooncakes are basically shaped. Arrange them neatly on a baking tray, preheat the oven to 190 degrees, place them on the middle and lower racks, and bake for about ten minutes for the first time. Then, take them out, lightly brush with a layer of whole egg liquid, and bake them again in the oven at the same temperature for another ten minutes.
