Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 2 1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast (1 pkg)
• 1 1/4 cup water (lukewarm)
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups feta cheese (crumbled)
• vegetable oil for frying

Directions

• 1. In a small bowl mix the sugar, yeast and water. Let it sit for about 15 minutes until the yeast gets bubbly.
• 2. In the bowl of a mixer, add the flour, salt and mix. Add the yeast mixture and using the dough hook mix it for about 5 minutes. The dough will be quite sticky and elastic.
• 3. Place the dough in an oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Keep in a warm spot and allow the dough to double in size, anywhere from 1 to 2 hours.
• 4. Heat about 1 cup of vegetable oil in a large frying pan. 
• 5. While the oil is heating up, cut the dough into 8 equal pieces. You might need to oil your hands, so the dough doesn't stick to them. Roll out each piece into a circle that's about 4 inches in diameter. Add 1/4 cup of feta cheese in the middle and bring up the sides of the dough and form into a ball, covering up the cheese. Roll out the ball with cheese so that it's about 6 inches in diameter. The cheese may stick out a bit, but that's OK.
• 6. Fry one piece of dough at a time, on both sides until golden, about 3 min per side checking often to make sure it doesn't burn. You'll notice as it fries the dough will bubble up.
• 7. Repeat with remaining dough pieces.
• 8. Serve warm and enjoy!
