Fritillas manchegas, sweet fried pastries

Ingredients

• 250 g of wheat flour
• 250 g of strong flour
• 10 grams of salt
• 25 g of fresh yeast
• 300 g of warm water
• 200 ml of olive oil
• 3 eggs
• 200 ml of milk
• sugar
• Sunflower oil for deep frying

In a bowl, pour in the warm water and dissolve the yeast. Gradually add the strong flour and wheat flour, kneading until a smooth, elastic dough forms.

Remove the dough from the bowl and cover it with a cloth for 1 hour.

Once the dough has rested, return it to a bowl, create a well in the center, and add the beaten eggs, milk, and oil. Knead the dough, first with a mixer if necessary, then by hand, adding the flour gradually until the dough becomes elastic.

Form small balls, about 75g each, and stretch them until they are very thin.

Heat a large amount of sunflower oil in a frying pan and fry the pancakes until they are golden brown.

Once the oil is out, generously sprinkle the seeds with sugar.
