Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon instant yeast
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 3 quarters of a cup warm water
• 0.5 cups unsweetened almond milk
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 3 cups oil for frying (e.g., canola or vegetable oil)
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.5 cups powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt. Mix well.

Step 2

Create a well in the center and add the warm water and almond milk. Stir until the mixture comes together to form a sticky dough.

Step 3

Add the melted coconut oil and continue mixing until the dough is smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour, a tablespoon at a time.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it sit in a warm place for about 45 minutes, or until the dough has doubled in size.

Step 5

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently for a minute.

Step 6

Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball. Use a rolling pin to flatten each ball into an oval shape about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 7

In a deep frying pan, heat the canola or vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 8

Carefully add the dough pieces to the hot oil, one or two at a time, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the fried dough with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Step 10

In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and powdered sugar. Dust the fried dough generously with the mixture while still warm.

Step 11

Serve immediately for the best taste and texture. Enjoy!
