Deep fried
breads
Ingredients:
- 1 kg
all-purpose flour.
- 1 tsp dried
active yeast.
- 1 egg, beaten.
- 1 can 7 Up.
- 1 tsp salt.
- Water, as
required.
Directions:
- Place the
flour in a bowl and combine with the yeast and salt.
- Add the
beaten egg and mix to combine.
- Add the full
can of 7 Up, and mix.
- Add more
water as required and knead vigorously to achieve a smooth dough.
- Cover the
bowl and place in a warm area for about an hour, or until the dough has doubled
in size.
- Separate the
dough into 10 evenly sized balls.
- Roll each
ball into a circle about 5 mm thick.
- Allow the
rolled circles to rest a while.
- Heat the oil
in a large deep frying pan, over a medium-high heat.
- Fry the
bhaturas one at a time, very carefully. You will know that you have achieved
the perfect temperature when the bread puffs within a few seconds.
- When it’s
golden brown on one side, flip and fry the other.
- Drain the
bhaturas on kitchen paper and then serve with your favourite curry.
