   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   4               cups  unbleached flour
   3          teaspoons  baking powder
      2/3           cup  cold water
   6          teaspoons  kosher salt
      2/3             c  boiling water
   4          teaspoons  sesame oil
      1/2           cup  thinly sliced scallions -- (green and white parts)
   1                cup  peanut oil -- (or other light vegetable oil)

Sift 2 cups of flour with the baking powder. Stir in the cold water 
and knead until smooth; let rest.

Combine remaining flour with 2 teaspoons of salt. Stir in boiling 
water; mix well. The dough will be very sticky. Knead the hot dough 
together with the cold dough until smooth. Oil a glass bowl with 1 
teaspoon of sesame oil. Put dough in bowl; cover and let rest 2 hours.

To form the breads, knead the dough 3 to 4 minutes. Divide into 6 
parts. Roll each part into a flat circle 7 to 8" in diameter. Brush 
the top of each circle with 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil. Sprinkle each 
circle with salt and scallions. Roll up each circle into a cylinder, 
pinching the ends closed. With the palms of your hands, roll each 
cyclinder until it is about 12" long. Coil each cylinder like a snake 
and let it rest. Roll all the coils into 7" circles with a rolling pin.

Heat a thin layer of peanut oil in a large skillet. Fry each circle 8 
to 10 minutes, turning midway, until each side is golden and the 
breads are slightly puffy. Transfer to a heated platter and keep warm 
until all the bread is cooked. Serve hot, cut into wedges.
