Italian recipes: fried dough from Parma

This recipe is from Parma, a city in Northern Italy famous for its exquisite cheese (i.
e.
Parmesan cheese) and ham.
Ingredients: 250 g flour; 20 g yeast; 4 oz water ; 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil; corn oil (deep frying); salt.

Method: Start by melting the yeast in warm water, then pour into a bowl and add oil, flour and salt.

Next mix to a dough and then leave it until it looks as though it has doubled in bulk ( it will take half an hour).

Next stage is to roll the dough; done that, cut it into rhomboid pieces and fry until golden.
Put them on kitchen paper to absorbe excess oil and then serve with Parma ham or salami.
