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
- In a large pan, heat 2 cups of milk just enough to warm it up – don’t let it boil.
- 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.
- Fill a glass with a little bit of warm water and add the yeast. Mix until it dissolves into the water and set aside.
- 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.
- Once combined, add the water and yeast to the bowl. Continue to mix until combined.
- Next, add 1 teaspoon of sugar and 2 tablespoons of salt into the bowl and mix.
- Finally, add the milk and butter into the bowl and mix everything until you get a soft dough.
- 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.
- 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.
- After the dough is done resting, knead the dough by hand on a flat surface.
- Cut the dough into small slices. Then into smaller pieces and roll them into a small ball.
- Lightly flour the surface and the dough and roll each ball out into a thin circle resembling a mini pizza.
- Cut a small hole in the middle of each circular piece of dough to help the dough in the cooking process.
- In a large pot, pour enough sunflower oil to begin frying the dough. Turn the stove to high heat.
- 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.
- Constantly flip the dough until they become golden brown.
- Remove the dough and place it on a plate covered in a paper towel to cool.
- If you’d like, add your favorite cheese, meat, and even sauce on top. Or keep them plain.
- Serve them however you’d like!
