This fried sweet bread recipe is almost like donuts as each triangle of bread is golden, fluffy, and sweet. They are dusted with powdered sugar to serve, just as you would with homemade fried donuts. They can be served for breakfast with cups of coffee or for a tasty dessert or snack when you need something sweet.
To make the fried sweet bread, you first make a dough with flour, egg, sunflower oil, yeast, sugar, baking powder, salt, and water. Then, once it has risen, it gets rolled out and cut into triangles before being fried in hot oil. Piping hot from being fried, this sweet bread recipe is simply irresistible!
What is Fried Sweet Bread?
Fried sweet bread is just how it sounds; it involves a sweetened yeast dough that works well for dessert. The dough is cut into triangles, fried in hot oil until golden and crispy on the outsides and fluffy on the insides, and dusted with powdered sugar to serve. These sweet bread triangles are reminiscent of fried donuts that have a light sweet flavor and a yeast-based dough.
Pro Tips
- Make sure that your yeast is still fresh before you start making this recipe.
- If your dough isn’t rising, it may be that your kitchen is too cold. Simply place it in a warmer location, like on top of your fridge or in a turned off oven, which should help it rise faster.
- When frying the bread, don’t overcrowd the pan as it will reduce the temperature of the oil.
- Keep an eye on the bread as you fry it to make sure it doesn’t burn.
