--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1                cup  Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
      1/2           cup  Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
   1                tsp  Salt
   1                tsp  Sugar
   2               Tbsp  Oil

   3               cups  Oil -- for frying, (to 4C)

Youtiao are a traditional fried Chinese doughnut, much like a cruller 
or churro. They're normally torn in two lengthwise and are an 
excellent accompaniment to congee.

PREP: 10 minutes
COOK: 20 minutes

In a medium-sized bowl, knead together all ingredients except oil 
until the ball of dough is no longer sticky and is smooth to the 
touch. Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight.

Remove from fridge and allow the dough to come to room temperature, 
about 1 to 2 hours.

Right before you're prepared to roll and shape your youtiao, begin 
heating your oil in a deep fryer or deep pot to 400F.

On a lightly floured surface, dump out the dough and lightly flour 
the top. Begin rolling the dough into a long rectangle that is less 
than 1/2" thick.

Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut dough into equal sized strips 
about 1" wide. Stack two strips on top of one another and press the 
center, lengthwise, with a chopstick or butter knife. Hold the two 
ends of each piece and gently stretch the dough to 6-8" in length.

Once your oil reaches 400F, fry the youtiao one at a time, turning 
each doughnut with chopsticks continuously until the outside is a 
deep golden brown, about 2 minutes.

Continue until all youtiao have been fried.
