Advertising
- Start with the preparation of the pasta. In a bowl, add the flour, sugar and brewer’s yeast.
- Start kneading, gradually adding the warm water. Also add salt during the process.
- Knead the dough for about 5 minutes, pulling it upwards to make it elastic.
- Let the dough rest for 5 minutes, then resume kneading for another 3-5 minutes.
- If you are using a food processor, you can knead for 15 minutes without letting the dough rest.
- The dough should be very soft, elastic and sticky. Grease your hands and form a ball.
- Let the dough rest for 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on room temperature.
- Dough the dough, grease a baking tray and shape it into equal sized balls.
- For cooking, you will need two pans: one with very little oil and the other half filled with oil.
- This two-pan technique allows the Sfenjs to swell and create bubbles, avoiding having too thick a consistency inside.
- Grease your hands, take a ball, make a hole in the center and pull lightly, as shown in the video.
- Once the Sfenjs begin to swell and form bubbles on the surface, transfer them to the second pan.
- Continue cooking on both sides until golden. Drain them on absorbent paper.
- The first pan over low heat, the second over medium heat.
