Hello everybody.

Today’s dessert is a very old traditional one that our Grandmas usually made when new olive oil is in cause it’s basically a dough fried in pure olive oil though I prefer to mix it with vegetable oil so as not to burn quickly.

As for presentation you can either eat it as is with sweet cheese and olives or dusted with caster sugar or simple syrup.

Ingredients and method.

*5 cups flour (  I mixed 3 white and 2 whole wheat)

* 1 tablespoon aniseed powder.

* 1 tablespoon fennel powder.

* 2-3 tablespoons sesame seeds.

* 2-3 tablespoons black seeds.

* 1 tablespoon instant yeast dissolved with some sugar and lukewarm water.

* 1/2 cup sugar.

* enough water to knead the dough.

 

 

* Mix all ingredients and knead well till you get a kind of soft dough.

* leave to rest and rise then form equal small balls and leave to rest for 30-40 minutes.

 

* heat oil very well then spread each ball to a thin round flat bread .

* remove carefully and fry till golden.

* sprinkle with icing sugar or honey before serving.
