Clay oven rolls

According to legend, in the Ming Dynasty, when Qi Jiguang, a national hero, fought against Japan in Shangfengling, Baishuiyang, the fighting was tense, and he asked the local people to prepare some dry food, which could be strung together and hung on his body, so that he could eat dry food while fighting. Later, when the army passed by Hutou and Changtan, the local people thought that there was a cake shop in Zhangjiadu Street, so they sent people to Zhangjiadu to contact and order. After learning about this situation, Zhangjiadu Bakery tried to change the original oblate baked cake into a corner with a small hole in the middle, so that it would not be broken when it was cooked and strung together with a rope. In the Qing Dynasty, with the development of local economy, the shape of Zhangjiadu's baked cake also changed, and it became like ancient copper coins, with the outer circle inside, which was called "copper coin cake" by the people, which meant to be polite and upright internally. Some people call this cake "navel cake". At the same time, Zhangjiadu also produces fire biscuits. There are two kinds of baked sesame cakes, one is salty, and the cake contains fat pork and green onions cut into small pieces. One is sweet, and the cake contains bean paste and sugar. These two kinds of baked sesame seeds are cooked with white charcoal fire in a sesame seed cake furnace. As for whether it will be crispy or not, the key is: the weight of' crisp', the weight of' crisp' is more, and the sesame cake is delicious. "Crispy" is made by mixing lard and wheat flour. Before liberation, there were four or five sesame seed cake stalls in Zhangjiadu Street, and some even set up fire sesame seed cake stalls in Shanghai Chenghuang Temple. Because this kind of cake is fragrant, crisp and delicious, it is deeply appreciated by Shanghai customers.
