Soft Fried Buns
Soft Fried Buns are light, fluffy treats perfect for snacks or meals, ideal for sweet or savory fillings.
Ingredients
Dough Ingredients
- 150 ml milk (lukewarm)
- 70 ml water (lukewarm)
- 7 g instant yeast
- 12 g honey
- 400 g all-purpose flour
- 7 g salt
- 30 g unsalted butter (room temperature)
Instructions
Preparation
- Stir the yeast into the lukewarm milk, water, and honey. Let it rest until it becomes foamy, about 5-10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, add the flour, salt, and soft butter. Pour in the foamy yeast mixture and mix everything together.
- Knead the mixture until it is smooth and elastic, about 5-10 minutes.
- Cover the bowl with a cloth and let the dough rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
Shaping and Frying
- Divide the dough into 10 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball. Optionally, fill them with ingredients like jam, cheese, or meat.
- Place the formed buns on a tray and let them rest for 30-40 minutes until puffy.
- Heat oil in a deep pot or skillet to 175°C (350°F). Fry the buns in small batches until they turn golden brown.
- Remove the buns from the oil and let them drain on paper towels.
Notes
Ensure that the milk and water are lukewarm. Knead the dough well for a soft texture. If buns brown too quickly, lower the heat. Experiment with different fillings.
