Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour sifted
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 whole egg lightly beaten
  • 1 Tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup room temperature water more or less as needed
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  • All ingredients ready? Let's begin!
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Stir all together to combine well.
  • Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the egg and butter.
  • Using the dough hook attachment, mix everything at low speed. Gradually add the water until the dough eventually comes together into a ball. Only use as much water as you need.
  • Lightly flour a flat work surface. Place the ball of dough on the surface and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Allow the dough to rest for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  • Divide the dough into 12 balls.
  • Add a good amount of oil to a skillet over medium-high heat. Allow this to come to a temperature of 350°F while you roll out your balls of dough.
  • On your floured work surface, roll out each ball of dough into 4 to 6 inch rounds, dusting with more flour as needed.
  • Start frying the flatbreads as soon as the oil reaches temperature while continuing to roll the others.
  • Fry about 2 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly puffed up. Drain on paper towels.
  • Serve the hojaldres with powdered sugar dusted on top or with savory meats and vegetables.
