Tiganopsomo

Tiganopsomo (Greek Fried Bread) Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3/4 cup warm water
• Olive oil for frying
• Optional toppings: honey, cinnamon sugar, or feta cheese and herbs

Instructions:

1. Make the Dough:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
   • Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and gradually mix in the warm water until a soft dough forms.
   • Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Let it rest for 30 minutes, covered.
2. Shape the Bread:
   • Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten it into a disc about 1/2 inch thick. Make a few slits in the center of each disc to help it cook evenly.
3. Fry the Bread:
   • Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
   • Place the dough discs in the hot oil, frying each side for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up.
   • Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
4. Add Toppings:
   • Serve warm, sprinkled with your choice of toppings: drizzle with honey and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar for a sweet version, or top with crumbled feta and fresh herbs for a savory snack.
