Ingredients

  • 2 cups of milk ½ liter
  • 2 oz of butter 50 grams
  • 1 oz of fresh yeast 25 grams or two sachets of dry yeast
  • 35 oz of flour 1 kilo
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon of sugar
  • 2 tablespoons of salt
  • sunflower oil as much as required

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large pan, heat 2 cups of milk just enough to warm it up – don’t let it boil.
  2. Once the milk is warm, add 2 ounces of butter. Let the butter melt in the milk, mix it well and remove from the stove.
  3. Fill a glass with a little bit of warm water and add the yeast. Mix until it dissolves into the water and set aside.
  4. Add 35oz of flour into a large mixing bowl and crack one egg into the flour. Beat the egg very well in the flour and then mix.
  5. Once combined, add the water and yeast to the bowl. Continue to mix until combined.
  6. Next, add 1 teaspoon of sugar and 2 tablespoons of salt into the bowl and mix.
  7. Finally, add the milk and butter into the bowl and mix everything until you get a soft dough.
  8. In the bowl or flat surface, knead the dough by hand until it is soft and smooth. A stand mixer can also be used to knead if you prefer.
  9. Add a light coating of flour onto the surface of the large bowl and place the dough back in. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and rest for three hours.
  10. After the dough is done resting, knead the dough by hand on a flat surface.
  11. Cut the dough into small slices. Then into smaller pieces and roll them into a small ball.
  12. Lightly flour the surface and the dough and roll each ball out into a thin circle resembling a mini pizza.
  13. Cut a small hole in the middle of each circular piece of dough to help the dough in the cooking process.
  14. In a large pot, pour enough sunflower oil to begin frying the dough. Turn the stove to high heat.
  15. Once the oil is hot lay the dough into it one at a time. It will cook fast and puff right up to the surface.
  16. Constantly flip the dough until they become golden brown.
  17. Remove the dough and place it on a plate covered in a paper towel to cool.
  18. If you’d like, add your favorite cheese, meat, and even sauce on top. Or keep them plain.
  19. Serve them however you’d like!
