Ingredients

  • For the Dough:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • For Topping:
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
  • Sour cream
  • Shredded cheese (e.g., mozzarella or cheddar)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Prepare the Dough

In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk with the sugar and let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes frothy.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.

Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg.

Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Shape and Fry

Punch down the dough and divide it into 6-8 equal pieces.

On a floured surface, roll each piece into a flat, round shape about 1/4 inch thick.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer over medium-high heat.

Fry each dough round for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Drain on paper towels.

Add Toppings

While still warm, optionally brush with minced garlic.

Enjoy your meal!
