Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Dry yeast
- 150 milliliters Lukewarm water
- 60 milliliters Low-fat buttermilk
- 0 as needed Vegetable oil spray
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.
Step 2
In a small bowl, dissolve the dry yeast in the lukewarm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
Step 3
Add the foamy yeast mixture and the low-fat buttermilk to the large bowl with dry ingredients. Mix until a sticky dough begins to form.
Step 4
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic, adding more flour if necessary to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until it doubles in size.
Step 6
Preheat an air fryer to 180°C (356°F) or set a large skillet over medium heat if you prefer shallow frying.
Step 7
After the dough has risen, punch it down to release the gas, then roll it out onto a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Step 8
Cut the rolled dough into strips about 1 inch wide and 4 inches long.
Step 9
Lightly spray the air fryer basket or the skillet with vegetable oil spray.
Step 10
Arrange the dough strips in the air fryer or on the skillet, ensuring they are not touching each other.
Step 11
If using an air fryer, cook for 8-10 minutes, turning halfway through to ensure even browning. If shallow frying, cook each side for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Step 12
Remove the cooked dough sticks and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
Step 13
Serve the low-fat crispy dough sticks warm, possibly with a side of dipping sauce of your choice, such as a sweet condiment or chocolate syrup.
