Shaanxi Pot Helmet Bread

This savory scallion pancake recipe is a must-try for anyone who loves crispy, flavorful flatbreads with a soft, chewy center. Made with a simple blend of flour, yeast, baking powder, baking soda, and fresh scallions, this dough is kneaded to perfection and fermented for over an hour to develop rich texture. The secret lies in the technique—repeated kneading and flour dusting create a firm yet pliable dough that rolls out beautifully. Once shaped, the pancake is pan-fried to golden-brown crispiness, with small holes poked to ensure even cooking. The slow, rotating bake over low heat guarantees a perfectly crisp exterior and tender inside. Infused with the aromatic bite of scallions, this homemade pancake is a deliciously satisfying snack or side dish, best served warm. Try it for a taste of authentic, handcrafted comfort!
