To prepare this delicious recipe, the beginning consists of making a non-sticky dough, which will be the base for all the steps. In a large bowl, we combine 500 grams of wheat flour with a packet of dry yeast, a teaspoon of salt, and a tablespoon of sugar. These dry ingredients are mixed well to become uniform. Then, we add 250 milliliters of warm water and 50 milliliters of olive oil or sunflower oil. We knead the dough for about 10 minutes, until it becomes elastic and non-sticky. It is important to ensure that the dough is well homogenized to achieve a fine texture.
After we have obtained the dough, we cover it with a clean towel and let it rise in a warm place, away from drafts, for about an hour or until it doubles in volume. This process is essential because it will make our products fluffy and airy.
When the dough has risen, we take it out onto a floured surface and roll it out with a rolling pin to a sheet about 1 cm thick. Using a cutter or a glass, we cut out discs of various sizes, making sure to get an even number of discs so they can be joined. Once we have the cut discs, we take an egg white and lightly beat it, then apply a small amount in the center of each disc.
To join the discs, we place one disc on top of another, making sure to leave the egg white between them. We gently press in the center of the three discs to stick them well. Using a knife or a cutter, we cut each group of discs into four, but not all the way through, so that they remain joined in the middle. Then, we let these shapes rise for another 10 minutes, to blend the flavors and develop a little more.
In a deep pan, we heat oil over medium heat, making sure there is enough to partially cover the discs. When the oil is hot, we fry each group of discs on both sides until they become golden and crispy. After removing them from the oil, we let them sit on a paper towel to absorb the excess oil. Depending on preferences, we can glaze them with cherry jam, adding a generous layer of flavor, or dust them with powdered sugar for a sweet and elegant touch. Served warm, these delights will surely delight any table!
