Steps to make Mandasi (Fried Bread):
- Combine milk, yeast, salt and sugar. Stir to adequately moisten the yeast for proofing. Let sit for 5minutes or until foamy
- In a separate bowl beat milk and eggs until fully incorporated
- Add flour to yeast mixture and stir with hands or a wooden spoon. I personally trust hands to mix thoroughly
- Cover bowl with a clean tea towel and leave in a warm place undisturbed for atleast 20minutes to rise
- Heat oil in a shallow pan on medium. You can test it with a little dough to make sure it is not too hot. A wooden cooking stick dipped in the oil touching the bottom should sizzle a little to indicate readiness
- Now the fun part! With clean hands dip into the dough and collect enough to fill the palm of your hands and drop little balls of dough into the hot oil by squeezing it through a sizeable hole between you thumb and index finger when folded. This will ensure that you get perfectly shaped mandasis of almost the same size
- Fry each ntil golden brown. Turning frequently after each side is lightly browned until the desired doneness is achieved
