1. Prepare the Dough:
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
Add the warm milk, melted butter, and egg. Mix until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour; if too dry, add a splash of milk.
2. Knead the Dough:
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rest in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
3. Shape the Dough:
After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and flatten slightly into an oval or circular shape. Use a knife to make 3-4 shallow slits across each piece.
4. Heat the Oil:
Heat about 2 inches of oil in a frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
5. Fry the Bread:
Carefully place each piece of dough into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
6. Dust with Sugar:
Once slightly cooled, dust the fried bread with powdered sugar for a sweet finish.
7. Serve and Enjoy:
Serve warm with a drizzle of honey, jam, or a side of whipped cream for an extra indulgence.
Tips for Success
Monitor Oil Temperature: Keep the oil at a consistent temperature to ensure even cooking.
Rest the Dough: Allow the dough to fully rise for a fluffier texture.
Customize Toppings: Add cinnamon sugar, chocolate drizzle, or even a glaze for different flavors.
