Homemade Fogazza: Soft and Crispy Fried Dough (Fogazza : massa macia e fritinha)

Ingredients

1 egg
500g all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup water
1 block (15g) fresh yeast
25g sugar
15g salt

Where to find ingredients

You can find fresh yeast, all-purpose flour, and basic pantry staples at local markets and grocery stores. If fresh yeast is unavailable, active dry yeast can be used as a substitute (follow package ratios).

Preparation method

  1. Mix the yeast with a small portion of the flour and a little bit of the water to create a sponge.
  2. Let the mixture rest for about 10 minutes to activate the yeast.
  3. Add the remaining flour, egg, sugar, salt, oil, and the rest of the water gradually.
  4. Knead the dough well until it becomes smooth and very soft.
  5. Shape into small balls of your desired size and let them rest for 15 minutes covered with a clean kitchen towel.
  6. Roll out each ball with a rolling pin, add your chosen filling, and seal the edges tightly as if making a turnover.
  7. Place the fogazzas on a greased baking sheet and let them rest briefly before frying.
  8. Deep-fry in hot oil until golden brown on both sides, then drain on paper towels.
