Youtiao (Fried Dough Sticks)

In a large mixing bowl, combine the All-purpose flour, Baking powder, Baking soda, and Salt. Whisk them together thoroughly.

Gradually add the Water and 15g of the Vegetable oil to the dry ingredients, mixing with chopsticks or a spatula until a shaggy dough forms.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly oiled work surface. Knead the dough gently for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth, soft, and elastic. Avoid overworking the dough.
