Activate the Yeast:
In a small bowl, combine the dry yeast with a small amount of hot water and 1 tablespoon of honey or sugar. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
Prepare the Dough:
In a large bowl, mix 500 grams of flour and 1/2 tablespoon of salt.
Add the activated yeast mixture and 300 milliliters of slightly warm water.
Stir until the dough starts to come together, then knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Rest the Dough:
Cover the dough with a clean cloth and let it rest in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Shape and Fry:
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air.
Divide the dough into small portions and shape them as desired.
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Fry the dough pieces until golden brown on both sides. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm with a drizzle of honey or a dusting of powdered sugar.
Pair with a dipping sauce or your favorite spread for a savory treat.
Cooking Tips
Ensure the water is not too hot when activating the yeast to avoid killing it.
