Week 5 Challenge

Karawhiua - Give it a Go!

Kia ora tamariki

Continuing on from my challenges all about Kai from last week... I thought I would include our whānau recipe for Māori fried bread (Paraoa Parai) which are a favourite in our household any time of the day!

These small pillows of bread with their light fluffy texture are similar to doughnuts and eaten with lashings of butter and golden syrup!

Recipe
Ingredients
4 cups standard flour
1 sachet of dried yeast
1/2 cup sugar
3 cups warm water

Method
1. Put flour into bowl
2. Make a well in the center
3. In a jug mix the yeast in 1 cup of the warm water and the  sugar
4. Once mixed add the remaining 2 cups of warm water
5. Pour wet mix into the well and gradually mix from the middle out.
6. Cover with clean cloth and leave to prove in a warm place for 2 and a half hours
7. Once it has doubled in size turn out onto a floured surface, cut into 10cm x 10cm squares (approximately) and shallow fry in oil. 
Please ask an adult to do the frying!

Eat immediately with butter and golden syrup!
