Recipe and source notes

Ajin

8 servings Source yield

Ingredients

  • 4 cups flour
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 cups (or more) water
  • 1/4 pound margarine, at room temperature

Make it step by step

  1. Mix everything except the margarine together, knead a bit for smoothness. Then rest the dough, covered, for 3 hours.
  2. Divide the dough into 8 pieces. Flatten out 1 piece to about 6-inches in diameter. Incorporate about 2 teaspoons of margarine in the dough circle, pushing and kneading it in but maintaining the circle.
  3. Cut a line open from the center of the circle to the outside edge. Take one end and roll it around counterclockwise into a ball. This is ajin. Prepare all the pieces of dough in the same way. Bake as directed in the individual recipe.
