This flatbread is also called as Shaobing (shāo bǐng), is a type of baked, layered flatbread in Chinese cuisine. Shaobing can be made with or without stuffing, and with or without sesame on top. Shaobing contains a variety of stuffing that can be grouped into two main flavors: savory or sweet. I made these with meat filling, very delicious.

1: Dough: Combine all ingredients of Ingredient 1) in a container, mix well and let it stand for 5minutes. Add flour and combine to form a dough (sticky and very soft). Add 1 tsp oil, knead a few time and spread another ½ tsp oil on top. Cover with a damp cloth or a lid and set aside in a warm place until it doubles in volume.
2: Oil paste: Combine all ingredients of Ingredient 4) in a small container, mix well with a spoon and set aside.
3: Meat filling: Remove skin and roots of shallots and green onion, rinse with cold water and then chop finely, separately. Combine all ingredients of Ingredient 5) to 7) in a bowl. Stir in one direction with a pair of chopsticks for 3 minutes, until the mixture is sticky, set aside.

4: Chinese flatbread: Rub some oil onto both hands and working surface, knead the dough for a few times. Divide into 10 equal portions. Roll out each portion into a very long oval about 30 cm long, smooth on 1/10 of oil paste. Roll from one end to form a cylinder shape, cover with food wrap while working on the remaining portions.

5: Fold both ends to the center, press down, the small ball and roll out into a 12-cm circle. Place 2 tbsp filling on top and seal it. Repeat for the next 9 portions. Brush with sugar water and dip the ball into the sesame seeds, take out and turn upside down (sesame side up), press and roll into a 10 cm oval.
6: Preheat the oven to 375F/190C, place Shaobing on parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake for 22-23 minutes until the surface turns light golden. Broil for 2-3 minutes if needed. Serve warm. Yummy!!

Tips：Leftover Shaobing can be stored in an airtight container in a freezer. Warm in a microwave for 15 seconds and then toast the Shaobing before serving.
