Sweet Fried Dough
Ingredients for the Dough
- 5 grams of dry yeast – 1 teaspoon
2.5 cups of flour, salt
Ingredients for the syrup
Sunflower oil
For the syrup: Add granulated sugar and water to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add the lemon juice and boil for a few more minutes. Then let it cool.
For the dough: In a mixing bowl, add the dry yeast, water, and granulated sugar and mix. Let it sit for 5 minutes to activate the yeast.
In a separate mixing bowl, add the flour and make a well in the center. Add the prepared yeast mixture and first mix with a fork, then knead by hand on a floured surface.
Once your dough is ready, transfer it to a mixing bowl, cover it tightly with plastic wrap to prevent air from entering, and let it rise for 1 hour.
Take your risen dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it. Then, shape the dough as desired and portion it.
Place your pan on the stove and add sunflower oil, then heat it. Once the oil is hot, add the prepared dough pieces and fry them on both sides. Transfer the fried dough pieces to the syrup and turn them over a few times. Serve hot or warm.
