Ingredients
For the Dough:
- 300g (2 cups) flour
- 1 egg
- 45g (1/4 cup) sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 7g dry yeast
- 140 ml (3/5 cup) warm milk
- 40g (1/4 cup) softened butter
For the Decoration:
- Whipped cream
- Chopped strawberries
- Granulated sugar
Instructions
1. Prepare the Dough
- In a medium bowl, combine 45g sugar, 7g dry yeast, and 140 ml warm milk. Stir well to dissolve the yeast and let it sit for a few minutes until the mixture becomes slightly frothy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk 1 egg, then add it to the yeast mixture along with 300g flour and a pinch of salt. Begin kneading the dough with a spatula until it comes together.
- Once the dough starts to form, switch to using your hands and knead until you get a smooth and elastic dough.
2. Incorporate the Butter
- Add 40g softened butter to the dough and continue kneading until the butter is fully mixed in. This will make the dough rich and soft.
3. Let the Dough Rise
- Form the dough into a ball and cover the bowl with a tea towel or plastic wrap. Let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
4. Shape the Dough
- After the dough has risen, divide it into 8 equal parts. Roll each portion into a ball and cover them again, letting them rest for 30 minutes.
- Once rested, slightly flatten each ball, then roll it back into a smooth ball. Cover and let them rest for another 30 minutes.
5. Fry the Dough Balls
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan over low heat. Fry the dough balls for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Once cooked, remove from the oil and let them cool slightly.
6. Assemble the Strawberry Bombs
- Cut each fried dough ball in half lengthwise, like a burger bun.
- Spread a generous amount of whipped cream and sprinkle with chopped strawberries on the bottom half of the dough ball.
- Close with the top half and dust with granulated sugar or icing sugar for a finishing touch.
