• 500 g all-purpose flour
• 250 ml milk
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 tbsp yeast
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tsp salt
• oil for frying vegetable oil
• powdered sugar for dusting powdered sugar

Method

1. 1

   In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until foamy.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture, eggs, and melted butter.

3. 3

   Mix the ingredients until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

4. 4

   Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

5. 5

   Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out to about 1 cm thick. Cut out circles using a cookie cutter and let them rest for another 15 minutes.

6. 6

   Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Fry the dough circles until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes each.

7. 7

   Remove the gogoși from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

8. 8

   Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy warm!
