  • Preparation: 75 min
  • Cooking: 20 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (150 g)
  • Difficulty: Easy
  • Diets: Vegetarian, Dairy-free
  • Contains: gluten, honey

Ingredients

  • 60 g Flour, all-purpose
  • 55 g Water, lukewarm
  • 1 g Yeast, active dry
  • 1 g Sugar
  • 0.5 g Salt
  • 12 g Sunflower oil, for frying
  • 20 g Honey, to serve

Method

  1. Stir the yeast and sugar into a little of the lukewarm water (about 35 °C) and leave for 10 minutes, until it foams.
  2. Mix the flour and salt in a bowl, pour in the yeast and the rest of the water and beat with a wooden spoon for 5 minutes into a soft, sticky dough, much softer than a bread dough.
  3. Cover and leave in a warm place for 1 hour, until it has doubled and is full of bubbles.
  4. Heat about 4 cm of oil in a deep pan to 170 °C. Dip a tablespoon in cold water, scoop up a walnut-sized piece of dough without knocking the air out of the rest, and slide it into the oil. Fry a few at a time for 3-4 minutes, turning them, until puffed and golden brown all over.
  5. Lift them out with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. Dip the spoon in water again before each one so the dough slides off.
  6. Serve warm, drizzled with honey. In Montenegro priganice are just as often eaten with young cheese, kajmak or jam.
