Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and yeast.
2
Slowly add the lukewarm water, mixing until you have a thick, slightly sticky dough.
3
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rest for 1 hour to rise.
4
In a large skillet or pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat (approximately 340°F or 170°C).
5
Using a spoon or your hands, form small dough balls and gently drop them into the hot oil.
6
Fry the Bofrot for 3-5 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Flip them halfway through for even cooking.
7
Remove them and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
8
Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar, drizzled with honey, or with your favorite jam.
