Cheese Topped Fried Bread

in #food5 days ago

Hi Friends!

Cloudy morning here, only 16C inside the greenhouse. Supposedly highest temperature today would only be at 20C. Meh.

This year we don't seem to have a chance to do Sate Ayam (Indonesian grilled chicken with peanut sauce) nor Gulyas (Hungarian goulash, beef soup), since there was fireball, then not many sunny days as well, and when it's sunny, I'd rather enjoy gardening instead 😁

Well, sometimes I'd go to the gazebo to cook there, when it's a hot sunny day, like for the following cheesy fried dough, but yes, no Sate Ayam and/or Goulash, just yet 😁

On a large bowl, mix flour, salt, sugar, then pour in yeast, knead

Add in unsalted butter, continue kneading until mixture forms a nice dough

Cover and let rest for an H, until doubled in size

Preheat frying oil

Pinch enough dough and flatten it, as wide as your pan is, then fry until golden brown, turning once

Crush garlic and mix it with olive oil

Brush garlic oil on fried dough, sprinkle lightly with salt, then spread too with sour cream

Lastly, sprinkle grated cheese generously, and serve immediately

Enjoy !
