Homemade Breakfast Fried Dough Sticks

Homemade Breakfast Fried Dough Sticks

Homemade breakfast fried dough sticks from an enriched, well-rested dough stretched into strips and deep-fried until puffed, golden, and airy, with a crisp shell and springy, hollow interior.

Instructions

  1. 1
    Step image

    Flour, doughnut leavening agent, baking powder, salt.

  2. 2
    Step image

    Add the beaten eggs and cooking oil.

  3. 3
    Step image

    Add a portion of water (add water in 3 parts).

  4. 4
    Step image

    Then add an appropriate amount of water and stir until it becomes a flaky texture before kneading the dough.

  5. 5
    Step image

    Cover the slightly soft and smooth dough with a film to rest; this type of homemade dough ferments faster, saving waiting time.

  6. 6
    Step image

    Roll the dough into square, evenly thin sheets (no need to knead the dough).

  7. 7
    Step image

    Cut into evenly wide and thick strips.

  8. 8
    Step image

    Spread water on one strip in the middle, overlap it with another strip, and press the middle with chopsticks (to prevent it from falling apart).

  9. 9
    Step image

    Add an appropriate amount of cooking oil to the pot and heat it until boiling. Put in the youtiao dough pieces to fry. The heat should not be too high (they can burn on the outside), nor too low (they won't puff up). Adjust the heat to a moderate level as needed.

    Step image

    Due to the limited width of the pan, only one youtiao is fried at a time.

  11. 11
    Step image

    This makes it easier to manage colors and flipping.

  12. 12
    Step image

    The fried dough sticks quickly puff up, with a golden color that is appetizing.

    The fragrant fried dough sticks are ready!

    Step image

    The fried dough sticks are fluffy with no dead corners, crispy and delicious (homemade recipe saves time and tastes great).

    Step image

    Homemade fried dough sticks are full of wheat fragrance, with excellent color and taste, pleasant aroma, and endless aftertaste.

    Freshly squeezed soy milk is best paired with fried dough sticks.
