Ingredients

The following ingredients have 144 Servings
  • 2-1/4 cups bread flour + more as needed
  • 1 packet rapid-rise yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup water
  • Vegetable oil

Instruction

  • In a large bowl of electric mixer, stir together 2-1/4 cups of flour, yeast and salt.
  • Warm water to between 125-130 degrees and add to flour mixture. 
  • Knead with mixer for about 5 minutes or by hand about 10 minutes. Check the dough often and if it is sticky to the touch, add a little more flour (a small handful at a time). When dough feels smooth you have added enough flour.
  • Let dough rest in bowl, covered with towel, for 10 minutes.
  • Divide into 12 pieces and shape into little oval loaves. Place on cookie sheets that have been sprayed with nonstick spray. Leave a few inches in-between as they will expand as they rise. 
  • Cover with towel and set in warm place, away from breezes (I like to put mine in my oven with a pan of hot water in the bottom) until risen, about 1-2 hours.
  • When ready to fry, heat about 2-4 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place about 5 bread cakes in oil and brown slowly on all sides.
  • Serve hot with butter or honey.
