Ingredients

Scale
  1. 5 cups flour
  2. 2 cups warm milk
  3. 1 cup oil (vegetable or canola)
  4. 1 tablespoon dry yeast
  5. 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  6. 1 teaspoon salt
  7. For boiling the dough:
    • 2.53 liters of water
    • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Prepare the Dough:
    In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and dry yeast. Stir, and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
    Add flour, oil, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until it forms dough. Adjust flour or milk to get the right consistency.
    Knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and stretchy.
  • Let the Dough Rise:
    Grease a bowl and place the dough inside. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  • Prepare for Boiling:
    In a large pot, bring 2.5 to 3 liters of water to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon salt.
  • Shape and Boil the Bread:
    Punch down the risen dough and shape it into balls or preferred shapes. Drop the dough pieces into the boiling water a few at a time. Boil for 1-2 minutes, until they puff up and float.
  • Cook on Stovetop:
    Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, add the boiled dough pieces. Cook each side for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy. Press lightly with a spatula for even cooking.
  • Serve:
    Serve the warm stovetop bread with butter, jam, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!

Notes

  • If the dough is too sticky or dry, adjust the flour or milk until it reaches the desired texture.
  • This bread is perfect for serving with soups, stews, or as a snack!
