2.Wake up time: Short video platform test data shows that 30 minutes of waking up in summer/45 minutes in winter has the best effect. Insufficient waking up will lead to shrinkage.
3.rolling tools: According to e-commerce platform sales data, recent sales of jujube wood rolling pins (3-5cm in diameter) have increased by 45% year-on-year, and their anti-stick properties are highly recommended.
4.Key points of technique: Popular teaching videos emphasize the "cross-rolling method" - first push vertically, rotate 90° and then expand horizontally to avoid the edges being too thin.
3. Comparison table of rolling parameters for different pastas
| Pasta type | Thickness requirements | Diameter range | Hot Tips |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dumpling skin | 1-1.5mm | 8-10cm | Thin at the edges, thick at the center |
