Quick Fried Buns! "South Central European Style"

YOU HAVE TO TRY THESE!

SIMPLE AND TASTY!

I make these on average, at least once a week.

1.5 kg flour
2 table spoons of salt
2 big table spoons of dry yeast
100ml oil
750 ml very warm water

The above measurements are approximates, add water as required, you will see, but this usually does it.

Make the dough, then let it rest/rise until it doubles in size.

Once it doubles in size, kneed the dough again,

then roll it out to a 1/2cm = approximately 1/4 inch thickness, and

Cut into small pieces, there is no real rule of thumb for the size of each piece, I recommend that they be about 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch approximately).

Then fry them in oil, high temperature for frying, short frying time till it goes light brown/golden,

then flip and do the same.

Once both sides are light brownish/golden in colour then take them out and let them drain out on a sheet of (towel) paper.

Now you may think to yourself, WHY go to all the trouble?

TRY THEM, THEN COME BACK TO ME WITH THIS QUESTION!

While I made these, my son Chris took care of the BBQ!

I have often made these for a quick snack/lunch or even brunch.
Put them on the table with various dips and let the kids dig in.

I have also made them with a cheese and ham filling, basically just roll them out a little thinner, cut to size, place filling in there, fold them over and then fry.

Excellent meal!

I don't know how to exactly translate these, so I just called them "Quick Fried Buns", the original word in Croatia is "Lepinje" pronounced Lay-pin-yeah.

So I figured that "Quick Fried Buns" would sound tastier than a foreign sounding word!

I guarantee they taste fantastic!
