Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 packet active dry yeast
  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: In a bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until bubbly and frothy.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and sugar.
  3. Combine wet and dry mixtures: Add the activated yeast mixture and vegetable oil to the flour mixture and stir until well blended.
  4. Knead the dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Let it rise: Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and allow it to rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour.
  6. Shape the dough: Once risen, roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut into shapes.
  7. Heat the oil: In a deep pan, heat enough oil over medium-high heat.
  8. Fry to perfection: Drop the shaped dough into the hot oil, frying until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  9. Dust and serve: Remove the fried dough and let drain on paper towels, then dust generously with powdered sugar.

Notes
