thera's canadian fried dough

Ingredients

  • Servings: 20
  • 1/2 cup warm water (110 degrees f/45 degrees c)
  • 5 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 pinch white sugar
  • 1 cup warm milk (110 degrees f/45 degrees c)
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 beaten eggs
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 5 cups whole-wheat flour, divided
  • 1 quart vegetable oil for frying
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or to taste

Recipe

    Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 30 mins Ready Time: 2 hrs 5 mins

  • mix warm water, yeast, and 1 pinch of sugar in a large bowl, and let stand until the yeast begins to foam and form a creamy layer, about 5 minutes. stir in milk, 1/3 cup sugar, salt, vanilla extract, eggs, and 1/3 cup vegetable oil until the sugar has dissolved. mix in about half the whole-wheat flour, and stir until the dough is too stiff to add more flour. turn the dough out a floured surface, and knead in more flour until the dough is no longer sticky. knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. form the dough into a ball, place into an oiled bowl, and cover. let rise until the dough has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • punch down the dough, knead a few times to reshape it, and pinch off a piece of dough about the size of an egg. roll the dough ball out into an oval shape about 1/4 inch thick. place finished fried dough on a cloth and cover while you finish rolling out the pastries.
  • heat oil in a deep-fryer or large, deep skillet to 375 degrees f (190 degrees c). oil should be at least 4 inches deep. combine 2 cups of sugar with cinnamon to taste in a shallow dish or pie plate, and set aside.
  • gently lower the pastries, one at a time, into the hot oil, and fry 1 to 2 minutes per side until golden brown. blot excess oil from fried pastries with paper towels; gently press each pastry into the cinnamon sugar while still warm. shake off excess sugar.
