 【iFood7 Gourmet Channel】Unveiled: The Secret Recipe for Homemade Perfect Fried Dough Sticks, Golden Bliss for Your Mornings!

As the gentle morning light illuminates, a piping hot, golden, and crispy fried dough stick is undoubtedly the perfect companion to awaken your taste buds. 

Today, the iFood7 Gourmet Channel invites you into the kitchen to unlock the mouth-watering art of making fried dough sticks, turning each one into a masterpiece on your breakfast table—crispy on the outside, soft and hollow within, ready in just ten minutes of preparation for instant delight.

Golden Ratio, Laying the Foundation of Deliciousness

First and foremost, the selection and proportioning of ingredients—the cornerstone of crafting perfect fried dough sticks. 

With 500 grams of flour as the base, add 3 grams of salt for flavor enhancement, and 10 grams of sugar not only to tempt the eye with a golden hue but also to infuse a subtle sweetness. 

The real game-changer is the 10 grams of crispy fried dough stick powder, ensuring a crunchier texture during frying, all without the need for additional additives, embracing pure and natural deliciousness.

Gentle Kneading, Awakening the Soul of the Dough

After mixing the ingredients thoroughly, crack in a fresh egg and gradually pour in 240 grams of warm water, stirring until a coarse dough forms. 

Incorporate 10 grams of oil and gently knead the dough without sticking your hands to it. Remember, the dough should be on the softer side, avoiding over-kneading to prevent excessive gluten development that could compromise the fluffiness. 

Cover the dough and let it rest for ten minutes, followed by three rounds of "folding and resting," each time folding the dough over and letting it rest for two minutes. This process refines the dough, making it smoother and more elastic.

Cold Fermentation, A Convenient and Time-Saving Option

For even more convenience, you can make extra dough and store it in the refrigerator. Simply refrigerate the dough overnight, then allow it to come to room temperature in the morning, and breakfast fried dough sticks are ready to grace your table—a dream no longer out of reach. 

This advance preparation not only saves precious morning time but also ensures freshness and deliciousness.

Creative Shaping, Adding Layers of Flavor

Once the dough is well-rested and smooth, lay out a sheet of plastic wrap on the counter, wrap the dough tightly, and let it rest for at least two hours or overnight in the fridge. 

After removing, sprinkle with white sesame seeds for added flavor. Gently stretch the dough, cut into even strips, and stack two strips together. Gently press the center with a chopstick, then trim off the uneven ends to create a perfect fried dough stick shape.

Precise Frying, Achieving Golden Crispiness

Oil temperature is crucial to the success of frying fried dough sticks. When the oil reaches 180°C, test with a small piece of dough; 

if it floats immediately, it's ready for frying. Gently twist and stretch the dough sticks before sliding them into the hot oil. 

Once they float, frequently flip them to ensure even heating. Fry over medium heat for about three minutes, or until the exterior turns golden and crisp, while the interior remains fluffy and hollow. 

Drain excess oil and indulge in this culinary feast for your taste buds.
