Homemade Fried Dough Recipe

Ingredients:

• • 500 grams of flour (4 cups)
  • 300 milliliters of slightly warm water (1 1/4 cups)

• • 1 tablespoon of honey or sugar
  • 1/2 tablespoon of salt
  • 1 tablespoon dry yeast (7 grams)

• Hot water (for activating the yeast)
• Oil for frying

Directions

1. 1. Activate the Yeast:
      • • In a small bowl, combine the dry yeast with a small amount of hot water and 1 tablespoon of honey or sugar. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

       
   2. Prepare the Dough:
      • • In a large bowl, mix 500 grams of flour and 1/2 tablespoon of salt.
        • Add the activated yeast mixture and 300 milliliters of slightly warm water.

       

      • Stir until the dough starts to come together, then knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
   3. Rest the Dough:
      • • Cover the dough with a clean cloth and let it rest in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

       

   4. Shape and Fry:
      • • Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air.
        • Divide the dough into small portions and shape them as desired.

       

      • Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
      • Fry the dough pieces until golden brown on both sides. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve warm with a drizzle of honey or a dusting of powdered sugar.
• Pair with a dipping sauce or your favorite spread for a savory treat.

Cooking Tips

• • Ensure the water is not too hot when activating the yeast to avoid killing it.

• Fry the dough in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, which can lower the oil temperature.
