Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 grams all-purpose flour
- 5 grams instant yeast
- 10 grams granulated sugar
- 5 grams salt
- 160 milliliters warm water
- 15 milliliters olive oil
- 500 milliliters vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt. Mix well to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
Gradually add the warm water to the dry ingredients while mixing with a spoon or your hand. Stir until the mixture starts to come together into a dough.
Add the olive oil to the dough and knead for about 5-7 minutes on a floured surface until smooth and elastic.
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly-oiled bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it proof for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
After the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide it into small, marble-sized balls or roll it out thinly into small sheets, depending on the desired shape of the crisps.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium heat to approximately 180°C (350°F). Test the oil by dropping a small piece of dough into it—if it sizzles and rises to the surface, the oil is ready.
Carefully drop a few pieces of dough into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden and crisp.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the crisps from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Allow the crisps to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them plain or with your favorite dipping sauce!
