Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, dry yeast, honey (or sugar), salt, and oil. Slowly add the warm water and mix until all the ingredients come together to form a dough.

  2. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If it's too sticky, add a little more flour.

  3. Cover the dough with a piece of plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel, and let it rest for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

  4. After the dough has risen, punch it down gently and divide it into smaller portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then make a hole in the center of each ball to shape it like a doughnut or bagel.

  5. Heat enough oil in a pan or deep fryer over medium-high heat to submerge the dough pieces. Once the oil is hot (around 350°F or 175°C), carefully place the dough balls into the oil. Fry them on both sides until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
    Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve warm and enjoy!
