Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups warm water
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2.25 teaspoons dry active yeast
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cups powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar (for topping)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and honey. Stir until the honey dissolves, then sprinkle the yeast over the top. Let it sit for 5-7 minutes until the yeast becomes frothy.
Stir the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, salt, and vegetable oil into the yeast mixture. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 6-8 minutes.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Cover the pieces with a towel to prevent them from drying out while you work.
On a lightly floured surface, roll each dough piece into a thin circle or oval, about 1/4 inch thick.
Heat 4 cups of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C). If you don’t have a thermometer, test by dropping a small piece of dough into the oil—it should sizzle and begin to puff up immediately.
Fry the dough pieces one at a time, turning them once, until golden brown on both sides (about 1-2 minutes per side). Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
While still warm, dust the fried dough with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar. Alternatively, serve them plain with dipping sauces or savory toppings.
Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
