Cinnamon-Flavored Fermented Dough with Honey Drizzle

Method

1. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk with a pinch of sugar (optional) and let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and cinnamon.
3. Add the yeast mixture, egg, and honey to the flour mixture, and stir until a soft dough forms.
4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours until doubled in size.
6. Heat oil in a deep fryer or pan to 350°F (175°C).
7. Drop spoonfuls of dough into the oil and fry until golden brown, turning occasionally.
8. Drain on paper towels and drizzle with additional honey before serving.
