Total time: 110 min
Yield: 16 servings
Ingredients: 300 ml warm milk; 1 tsp dry yeast (7 g); 1 egg; 60 g sugar; 1 tsp vanilla extract; 600 g all-purpose flour; Pinch of salt; 20 g butter (softened); Additional sugar (for coating)

Directions

1. Step

In a mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, dry yeast, sugar, vanilla, and egg. Mix well until combined. Add the flour, salt, and butter, then knead the mixture into a smooth, elastic dough.

2. Step

Cover the dough with a sheet of plastic wrap (polythene) and a clean cloth. Let it rest in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

3. Step

Roll the dough into a large round shape. Use a small round cutter to cut the dough into individual pieces.

4. Step

Cover the dough pieces with a clean cloth. Let them rest for 20 minutes.

5. Step

Heat oil in a pan until it reaches frying temperature. Fry the dough pieces in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown on both sides. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. While still warm, coat the fried pieces generously with sugar.
