2. After the dry yeast is completely fused in the milk, pour the milk into the all-purpose flour, stir with chopsticks while pouring, and stir the flour into a large dough flocculent, so that the dough will not stick everywhere
3. Knead the dough smoothly and seal it and relax for about 10 minutes, this time is not to let the dough rise, it is to give the flour and liquid a full fusion
4. Take advantage of this time to adjust a puff pastry, add 40 grams of flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 40 grams of corn oil to a small bowl and stir evenly and set aside
5. The dough is relaxed, roll it out into a large rectangular dough sheet, the thickness is about 3 mm, and then pour the pre-adjusted puff pastry on the dough sheet, scrape it evenly with a scraper, and use the back of the spoon to spread evenly without a scraper
6. Then fold along the two long ends of the dough sheet to the middle respectively to form a trifold
7. Cut it into small pieces with a knife and stack each two pieces on top of each other

Tips:
1. Different flour brands have different water absorption, so a part should be reserved in advance when adding milk, and the dough state should be observed and then increased or decreased as appropriate.
2. Milk can be replaced with water, but the amount needs to be appropriately reduced.
