What you need
How I make it
Dough
Put the flour in a deep bowl, make a well in the center and add the yeast.
Sprinkle the sugar and salt around the well.
Pour in the water while kneading until you have a soft, sticky dough. You can knead it in a stand mixer with the dough hook.
Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, until doubled.
Knead again to knock out the air, cover and let rise for another hour.
Frying
Heat oil for deep-frying in a pot to 340°F (170°C).
With wet or oiled hands, take a handful of dough (2-3 heaping tablespoons) and stretch it between your palms in all directions.
Drop into the hot oil and fry on both sides until golden brown.
Lift out with a slotted spoon onto a rack or paper towels.
Dip the sfenj in sugar or sprinkle sugar over them. Serve hot with a small dish of sugar on the side.
