Recipe: Ftayer Oriental Donuts

1-
Combine all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor
or a large mixing bowl, being careful not to mix
the salt and baking powder directly. Knead by adding water little by little.
For kneading by hand, allow 15 minutes by adding a few
teaspoons of water as you go (with a processor, allow 5 minutes).
When the dough is soft, slightly sticky, cover it
with a cloth and let it rest for 45 minutes.

2- When the dough has doubled in volume, divide it
into balls the size of a mandarin.

3-
Using oil to help, spread a ball on the work surface
to a thickness of about half a centimeter.

4-
Fold each side toward the center,
leaving a space in the middle. Repeat the operation with
each small piece of dough until finished.

5-
Place each donut on a large oiled plate
and space them apart. Let rest for 20 minutes again,
covered with a cloth.

6-
Then plunge each donut into a large bath of oil
over medium heat, turning halfway through cooking. Place the ftayer
on a plate covered with absorbent paper.
Enjoy as is or sprinkle with either sugar or hot honey.
