Homemade Breakfast Twists

Golden fried dough twists made from a yeasted, egg-enriched dough rolled into ropes, twisted by hand, and deep-fried until puffed, crisp outside, and slightly sweet within.

Instructions

  1. 1
    Step image

    Add sugar and yeast to warm water and dissolve.

  2. 2
    Step image

    Beat one egg and mix it evenly.

  3. 3
    Step image

    Pour in the liquid and beaten eggs, and stir in the cooking oil until it forms a flaky texture.

  4. 4
    Step image

    Cover the kneaded dough with a film and let it rise for 15 minutes (it rises faster in summer).

  5. 5
    Step image

    Divide the fermented dough into 8 equal portions.

  6. 6
    Step image

    Roll into strips and brush with cooking oil (to prevent drying out).

  7. 7
    Step image

    Take a piece of dough and roll it into a strip of even thickness.

  8. 8
    Step image

    Then twist the dough back and forth with both hands, lift both sides with your hands and combine them, then roll it into a strip and join the two ends, forming a twisted shape.

    Step image

    In the hot summer, after the second fermentation for 20 to 30 minutes, the dough for the twisted fried dough sticks becomes plump.

  10. 10
    Step image

    Pour an appropriate amount of cooking oil into the pot, and when the oil reaches a temperature of 4 to 5 layers of heat, you can put in the raw dough twists for frying.

  11. 11
    Step image

    You must fry it over medium heat, otherwise the outside will be burnt while the inside is still uncooked. A properly proofed raw dough will float on the surface of the oil.

  12. 12
    Step image

    Fry slowly until golden, the color is very beautiful! Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

  13. 13
    Step image

    Taking photos at the dining table, the colors in the pot are not accurate (probably a lighting issue).

    The fragrant and crispy twisted dough sticks smell so good, perfect to enjoy as a satisfying breakfast.
