How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Pork
- Choose pieces with bright red lean meat, a dry surface, and no dark spots or sliminess.
- You can check the freshness of the meat by pressing it with your hand; if it feels firm and bouncy, it is suitable for purchase.
- Avoid pieces that are too pale in color and have an unusual odor when smelled.
Kneading the dough
Use a dough mixer to beat all the ingredients for 7 – 10 minutes until the dough forms a mass, is smooth and elastic, and can be stretched into a thin film without tearing.
Note: If you do not have a dough mixer, you can knead by hand following these steps:
- First, fold the dough, then use the palm of your hand to press and stretch the dough away (Folding and Stretching). Note that you should press and stretch the dough away, not press down.
- Next, rotate the dough mass 90 degrees and repeat the two steps above for 25 – 30 minutes.
How to recognize if the dough is good:
- The dough is smooth and elastic.
- The dough does not stick to your hands: When pressed, it feels slightly sticky, but when you lift your finger, the dough does not stick to your hand.
- You can stretch the dough into a thin film without tearing.
- Test the dough with the Windowpane test: take a piece of dough, stretch it out. If the dough forms a thin film that does not easily tear and light can pass through, it is good.
Shaping and proofing the dough
After kneading, divide the dough into portions of about 200g. Dust a layer of flour on the table, lightly knead each portion of dough, then roll it into a ball and flatten it. Repeat the steps until all the dough is used up.
Place the flattened dough pieces onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper, then put them into the oven and proof at a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, with 80% humidity for 1 hour.
Baking the bread
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius for about 15 minutes before baking. Place the baking tray in the oven and bake at 200 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes.
Marinating the meat
Marinate 500g of pork neck with 1 tablespoon of chicken seasoning, 1 teaspoon of pepper, 1 tablespoon of yellow mustard, thyme, and rosemary. Mix well to let the meat absorb the spices.
Roasting the meat
Wrap the meat in aluminum foil, place it in the oven, and roast at 200 degrees Celsius for about 50 minutes.
Then, unwrap the foil and continue roasting for about 10 minutes to brown the outside of the meat evenly. After roasting, let it cool and slice the meat into thin, bite-sized pieces.
Make bread salad
Put 200g mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 2 tablespoons chili sauce, and 1/3 tablespoon Tabasco sauce into a large bowl and mix well.
Wash the red cabbage, white cabbage, lettuce, and tomatoes, drain and slice them thinly.Add the sliced vegetables to the sauce mixture and stir evenly.
Make the sauce
Add 4 egg yolks, 300g cooking oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, and 1 teaspoon lemon juice into a bowl. Use a mixer on low speed until the mixture is smooth and has a light yellow color.
Note: The seasoning can be adjusted according to individual taste.
Complete the sandwich
Cut the bread into 4 pieces. Evenly drizzle the accompanying sauce inside the bread, add a layer of salad and a layer of grilled meat to finish.
Finished product
Doner Kebab bread is a perfect blend of crispy bread, the sweet and rich flavor of grilled meat, the crunchiness of salad combined with rich sauce that will awaken your taste buds.
