Fried dough, a simple but delicious dessert that is made with ingredients that are in everyones home
Ingredients
2 ½ cups of all purpose flour
1 cup water
½ tsp salt
Dry yeast (9grs)
Directions
Put the flour in a bowl and make a hole in the middle
Add the water there and the yeast in the water
Add the salt to the flour
Start stirring slowly and gathering the flour into the middle until all the flour is gone and it forms into a soft dough that doesn’t stick to your hands
Add a sprinkle of flour if still sticky
Let it rest for about 1 hour in a warm place in order for the dough to rise and double in size
When the dough is ready divide into small portions about 12-15 and press so that they are round and thin
Fry in hot oil on medium heat
Turning often until they get a golden color, the dough will double in size as they are frying
Place on paper towel for excess oil
Served with honey and cinnamon or sugar
** you may also add feta cheese right before you divide into portions
