Yeasted dough fried until crisp outside and soft inside; a Turkish breakfast treat.

Ingredients

500 g flour
10 g dry yeast
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
300 ml water
2 cups vegetable oil

Method

Dissolve the yeast and sugar in the lukewarm water, add the flour and salt and knead into a soft dough.
Cover and let it rise for 1 hour until doubled.
With oiled hands, pinch off walnut-sized pieces, flatten them in your palm and poke a hole in the middle.
Fry in hot oil until golden on both sides and drain on paper towels. Serve with cheese and jam.
