Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 1/2 tsp active dry yeast -- or 2 envelopes
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
4 1/4 cups bread flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Vegetable oil -- for frying
Greek
Ladopsomo is a type of Greek fry-bread that's puffy, light and crisp.
Active: 30 min
Total: 4 hr
Servings: 8 flatbreads
In a medium bowl, combine the yeast with the sugar and 1/4 cup of
lukewarm water and let stand until foamy, 5 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup
of the flour and let stand until very billowy, about 30 minutes.
Put the remaining 4 cups of flour and the salt in a stand mixer
fitted with the dough hook. Add 1 1/2 cups of lukewarm water, the
olive oil and the billowy dough and beat at medium speed until a firm
but smooth and silky dough forms, about 10 minutes. Transfer the
dough to a large oiled bowl, cover with a sheet of oiled plastic wrap
and let stand until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
Punch down the dough, transfer it to a work surface and divide it
into 8 pieces. Pinch the dough into balls and transfer them, rounded
side up, to a floured baking sheet. Cover loosely with oiled plastic
wrap and let rest for 20 minutes.
In a large, deep skillet, heat 1" of vegetable oil until shimmering.
Roll out each ball of dough to an 8" round. Working with 1 round at a
time, fry the bread over moderately high heat, turning once or twice,
until the bread is puffed and deeply golden, 2 to 3 minutes;
carefully spoon hot oil over any pale portions of the dough for even
browning. Transfer the bread to a paper towel?lined baking sheet.
Repeat with the remaining dough balls. Serve right away.
