Airy yeast dough, fried until golden

A plant-based interpretation of Hessian Kreppel – regionally rooted, made by hand and presented in a contemporary way.
Ingredients
For the yeast dough
- 600 g flour
- 125 g margarine
- 70 g sugar
- 1 sachet dried yeast or 42 g fresh yeast
- 250 ml oat milk, lukewarm
- 1 pinch salt
Also needed
- oil for deep-frying

Method
Activate the yeast

Stir the yeast into the lukewarm oat milk with one teaspoon of the sugar.
Make the dough

Knead all the ingredients into a smooth yeast dough. Cover and leave to rise until it has roughly doubled in volume.
Shape the Kreppel

Roll the dough to a thickness of about 2 cm and cut out rounds.
Fry

Heat the oil to about 170–180 °C. Fry the Kreppel for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden, then drain them on kitchen paper.
