Turkish Breakfast PİŞİ Recipe | Turkish Fried Dough

Hello! It is Burak's time to shine! If you remember our breakfast video, we promised you some of the recipes we haven't given yet, here is one of them pişi fried dough balls perfect for a complete Turkish breakfast. These are so fluffy on the inside but crunchy on the outside. We fry them in high temperatures, so they don't soak up the oil and they turn out light and non- greasy. When you try it, you will see how perfect they are. Let us know on the comments if you try our pişi. And like and comment if you want to see our dear Burak give you more baking videos on the channel. He is our baking expert after all. Bon appetite everyone!

Ingredients:
1 cup milk, 250 ml
1 cup water, 250 ml
2 tablespoons sugar
1 heaped tablespoon instant yeast
1 teaspoon salt
700 g flour, 5 cups
Sunflower oil for frying
Recipe:
● Mix the milk, water, and sugar in a bowl. It shouldn’t be hotter than 42°C (107°F). It should be warm enough to activate the yeast.
● Add the yeast and stir until it dissolves. Make sure you are using a wooden spoon or a spatula, because yeast is made of living organisms, and materials such as steel might affect the yeast activity badly.
● Then add the flour and knead with your palms rolling the dough back and forth until you have an elastic and smooth dough. Kneading with palms will help to wake up the gluten faster.
● After kneading about 8 minutes, put the dough into a bowl and cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for about half an hour at room temperature.
● After half an hour, flour your counter and put the dough on it.
● Gently press on the dough to expand it and roll like a sausage.
● Divide into roughly 20-25 equal pieces and shape them into balls. Each should be around 50-60 grams. Try not to press too much and don’t take the air out of the dough.
● Let them rest for another 20 minutes covered with first a dry and then a damp cloth on top.
● After resting, oil your hands, and with your fingers, make an indentation in the centre of each ball, and go and pierce all the way through.
● Expand the hole with your fingers and fry them until they turn into golden brown -around 4 minutes. Do not flip them until one side gets the colour.
● For the pişi to preserve its crispness, once taken out of the pan, it is best to place it in a sieve to let the excess oil drip.
● Enjoy your simple, delicious, and fluffy pişi with cheese, tomato or with chocolate spread and of course a glass of tea!

Well done, Burak--your directions are so clear even a non-baker like me can follow them. It looks delicious. And poor Refika--hope you feel better soon.

[@Refika]

Thank you for all the kind words, and she feels much better now 🙏🏻

[@sarikagupta6379]

I missed Refika but you were good in the video Burak. Lots of love to all of you. I feel like making the Piçe now ❤

[@Gayle1661]

Burak you were so fun to watch! I'm glad we got to see you cook too. Such a nice dish and you made it seem simple. Your english is fine! I love to hear people speak their second languages it is beautiful. I hope you can speak with more confidence next time, because your directions were clear! I admire your courage for stepping in. I am very camera shy myself. Excellent job helping Refika 😊 and I hope to see more of you both very soon! Get well Refika!

[@Armymum13]

Oh, Refika feel better soon!!! Burak, thank you for this!!! It was lovely. You teach just like Refika does... Picking up the dough like a cat.... that is a perfect example!!!! I will ALWAYS remember that!!!! I want to become a better bread baker. This makes me feel that I can do it!!!

I’m sorry to hear Refika has been sick and glad to hear she is getting better. Burak, you did a great job filling in for her. We should see more of you cooking. Maybe your own series of videos released on the Refika channel. Love to all of you from Nashville TN.

[@KAST96]

He has his own series on the Turkish channel. He is the baker! But this was his first try in English and we are proud of him.

[@shainazion4073]

Yes Burak, we would love more baking videos by you. You are so sweet always. You teach so well. Thank you!!

[@b_uppy]

Interesting. I think Turkish 'breads' always looks the tastiest of all the breads.

[@craigbertram5109]

Burak!!! Yay!! Nice job. Your love of cooking is obvious. And who are all these new people on the team? Refika you are in our thoughts and prayers.

[@TheCyberDruid]

Please more videos with Burak :) Every video with him and Refika is so much fun to watch! All the best and a quick recovery to Refika.

[@lina987]

You guys spread so much joy and happiness. It’s always a pleasure spending time with you and even more trying out the great recipes. Just to name two: menemen or cilbir with the paprika butter. Oh my goodness… Keep on the amazing team spirit! And Burak you did a great job!

[@MiroBG359]

Look at how natural and entertaining Burak is in English🎉 We know this food as поничка/ponichka in Bulgaria. Favorite childhood breakfast my grandmother made, and I love it with yogurt or honey. Speedy recovery to Refika

[@biophile2]

This is excellent. You describe the process very clearly. I think you should not apologize for the way you speak English as your English language skills are infinitely better than my Turkish language skills. I’m very glad to see that Refika is feeling better.

[@GOINGCRAZYINTHEKITCHEN]

It looks simply great! I am in an "Italian period" so I am frying other things at the moment but I love this channel. If I feel a bit down, I look at you guys and immediately comes in a better mood. I hope Refika is better now!

[@Suzi9915]

Burak, you are totally precious. I love you and the way you make things look so easy. It's funny how Refika is such a dynamic force and you such a gentle soul and you perfectly complement each other. Keep at it and don't worry about your English. You can get away with a lot of mistakes and make them fun.
