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

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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. 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. 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. 4. Heat up vegetable oil in a frying pan.
  5. 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.
  6. 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)
  7. 8. Fry the shaped doughs in hot oil, turning from time to time until golden color. Continue until you finish all the dough.
