👨‍🍳 Preparation

  1. 1

    Work the dough by hand or with a stand mixer using a medium-low speed hook.

  2. 2

    Combine both flours in a bowl. Crumble the brewer’s yeast and add some water at 25°C.

  3. 3

    Mix with a wooden spoon, gradually adding water. After adding half the water, mix in the salt.

  4. 4

    Continue to add the remaining water and mix until the dough is homogeneous. Use your hands if needed.

  5. 5

    Transfer the dough to a work surface and knead until firm and uniform.

  6. 6

    Let the dough rest under a bowl on the work surface for about 10 minutes.

  7. 7

    Shape the dough into a ball and let it rise in a warm place for about two hours.

  8. 8

    Once risen, roll out the dough on a floured surface with a rolling pin.

  9. 9

    Cut the dough into desired-sized pieces.

  10. 10

    Prepare a mixture of granulated sugar and cinnamon in a deep dish.

  11. 11

    Heat plenty of vegetable oil in a deep frying pan and fry the dough pieces until golden.

  12. 12

    Drain the fried dough on paper towels and then coat with the sugar and cinnamon mixture.

  13. 13

    Serve the warm fried dough on a tray or plate. Enjoy!

💡 Tips and Variations

For a twist, try adding a little vanilla extract to the dough for an extra layer of flavour. Alternatively, dust with icing sugar for a lighter sweetness.

📦 Storage

  • Store at room temperature in an airtight container for 2-3 days. Ensure they are completely cooled before storing.
  • Avoid humidity to maintain crispiness. Store in a cool, dry place.
  • Best consumed fresh, but can be reheated gently in an oven to regain crispiness.

🍷 Pairing

Pair this dessert with a glass of Moscato di Pantelleria Naturale. Its sweet, aromatic nature and fruity notes harmonise perfectly with the flavours of the dough. Serve the Moscato slightly chilled, between 8°C and 10°C.
