Critical Success Points

  • Kneading the dough until it becomes stretchy and smooth
  • First proofing for a full rise
  • Second proof after shaping
  • Frying at low temperature to cook through without burning the exterior

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil can cause severe burns – keep a lid nearby to smother flames if oil ignites.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; this drops oil temperature and can cause uneven cooking.
