Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 quarters of a cup warm water
- 0.5 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 3 cups oil for frying (e.g., canola or vegetable oil)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt. Mix well.
Create a well in the center and add the warm water and almond milk. Stir until the mixture comes together to form a sticky dough.
Add the melted coconut oil and continue mixing until the dough is smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour, a tablespoon at a time.
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it sit in a warm place for about 45 minutes, or until the dough has doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently for a minute.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball. Use a rolling pin to flatten each ball into an oval shape about 1/4-inch thick.
In a deep frying pan, heat the canola or vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Carefully add the dough pieces to the hot oil, one or two at a time, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
Remove the fried dough with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and powdered sugar. Dust the fried dough generously with the mixture while still warm.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture. Enjoy!
