Preparation

1. Make the dough

Combine the warm milk, yeast, and sugar.

Rest for 5–10 minutes to activate the yeast.

Add the egg and melted butter.

Add the bread flour and salt.

Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.


2. Bulk ferment

Place the dough into a lightly oiled bowl and cover.

Leave at room temperature for 1–2 hours, or until it has almost doubled in size.


3. Cold ferment overnight

Place the covered dough into the fridge for 8–24 hours.


4. Shape

Remove the dough from the fridge.

Rest for 45–60 minutes, until no longer cold.

Roll to around 1cm thick.

Cut into 5–6cm squares.

Place onto a lightly floured tray and cover.


5. Final proof

Leave for 1–2 hours, until the squares look slightly puffed and airy.


6. Fry

Heat oil to 175–180°C.

Fry in batches for around 1–2 minutes per side, until golden and puffed.

Transfer to a wire rack.


7. Finish

While still warm, cover generously with icing sugar. Enjoy warm. 😊
