The Story

Turkish fried dough has been a breakfast staple across Anatolia for generations. Although it has different regional names, its fluffy texture and golden crust make it a timeless favorite.

Crispy outside, fluffy inside — nothing beats freshly fried Turkish dough.

Instructions

8 Steps

  1. Mix warm milk, water, yeast and sugar.

  2. Let sit for 5 minutes.

  3. Add flour, salt and oil, then knead into a soft dough.

  4. Cover and let rise for about 1 hour.

  5. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface.

  6. Cut into circles using a glass or cutter.

Hazel's Note

For perfectly puffed fried dough, make sure the oil is hot enough and avoid rolling the dough too thin.
