Babakau (Fijian Fried Bread)

Serves: 
4-6

Ingredients

  • 500g flour
  • 20g sugar
  • 7g yeast
  • 3g salt
  • 20ml oil
  • 350ml warm water


Method

  1. In a bowl, add all ingredients and mix well until it forms a wet sticky dough. Do not add anymore flour, this dough will come together after continuous kneading and rest.
  2. Transfer dough into a clean floured surface and knead firmly for about 5-7 minutes
  3. Place dough back into bowl, cover with a tea towel and allow it to double in size. Once doubled, transfer dough back into clean floured surface and cut dough in half and roll out into half an inch in width.
  4. Cut into evenly sized squares so that your bread cooks evenly on the heat.
  5. In a shallow frying pan, add enough oil so you can shallow fry. Bring temperature to medium heat before adding in dough.
