Ingredients
Scale
5 cups flour
2 cups warm milk
1 cup oil (vegetable or canola)
1 tablespoon dry yeast
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
For boiling the dough:
2.5 – 3 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!
