Ingredients
- 1 cup lukewarm water
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp double acting dry yeast or regular dry yeast or 20gr. fresh yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- vegetable oil to deep fry and drizzle to plate to shaping
Instructions
- 1. In a mixing bowl add 1 cup lukewarm water. Add the yeast according to your package. Since I used double acting instant yeast I mixed it with the flour. Add 3 cups flour, the yeast and begin to mix.
- 2. After the mixture begins to form a dough add the salt (So the salt doesn’t touch to the yeast) Continue to knead, sprinkling more flour if needed until it is somewhat stick soft dough. Shape into a ball and transfer it to oiled bowl. Cover and let it rise until doubled.
- 3. If you want to shorten the time you can use double boiler method. Add some water and heat up until you get a steam. Place to bowl with the dough and let it rise.
- 4. Heat up vegetable oil in a frying pan.
- 5. Get a plate or serving plate and drizzle some vegetable oil and spread with your hands. Get a piece about less then a mandarine size from the dough without disturbing the risen dough. You can help cutting with kitchen seazor or knife or dough cutter.
- 7. Stretch the dough and open up like to have a disk shape. You can either do it with your hand or with the help of the oiled plate. (Watch the video for details)
- 8. Fry the shaped doughs in hot oil, turning from time to time until golden color. Continue until you finish all the dough.
