Chocolate Mooncakes

This is the first time I am making chocolate mooncakes. Ever since I know how to bake mooncakes, I hardly buy from outside. I will only buy those unique flavours to try the taste.

Mooncake Skin:

225g    Plain Flour
35g      Unsweetened Chocolate Powder ( I used Valrhona chocolate)

Methods:

1. Mix the Oil with Golden Syrub and Alkaline Water.
2. Fold in the flour, chocolate powder and baking soda.
3. Rest the dough for about 30minutes.
4. Place the filling into the dough and press it firmly to form the shape.
    ( for this mould size, the proportion is 20g skin and 30g filling)
5. Bake at 160 - 170 degrees for 10 mins, rest for 15 mins, then bake for another 10-15 mins.

巧克力月饼皮材料：

普通面粉 225克

无糖巧克力粉 35克 （用了valrhona 巧克力粉）

碱水  1茶匙

[做法]

1）将液体材料用木棍搅轻轻拌均匀，然后筛入巧克力粉和面粉。混合均匀，放置让面团休息至少30分钟。

2）面团不太粘手后，把面团分成24份，每份约20克。搓圆。

3）皮压扁，包入搓圆的馅料，搓圆，把它放入模型里压出形状。放在铺了烤纸的烤盘上。

4）放入预热后的烤箱以160 - 170度，烤10分钟（可以发现月饼皮开始干没有油光）然后取出放置一旁待冷，

约10-15分钟，再放入烤炉继续烤10-15分钟至熟即可。
