Method

1. Step 1

   A tasty and simple treat for the whole family made from affordable ingredients. The dough according to this recipe turns out to be very porous and airy, and is always perfectly fried. Pour the yeast and sugar into a bowl. Pour in well warm water. Let the yeast dissolve and come to life for 5 minutes. Add salt, vegetable oil and gradually add flour. Knead the dough well. The dough should be soft and come away from your hands. Cover with a towel and leave for 1 hour. The dough should double in size.

   
2. Step 2

   Knead the risen dough again and divide it into small parts. Roll each part into a sausage. Take 1 sausage in the middle so that the ends hang down and twist the braid.

   
3. Step 3

   Fry the braids in a deep frying pan with plenty of oil. Heat the frying pan over medium heat.
