1️⃣ Activate the yeast:
In a small bowl, combine lukewarm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes bubbly and frothy.
2️⃣ Make the dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and the yeast mixture.
Add the milk and vegetable oil and mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, until it’s smooth and elastic.
3️⃣ Let the dough rise:
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
4️⃣ Shape the Pişi:
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air.
Divide the dough into 8-10 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Gently flatten each ball into a small disc. You can make them as thick or thin as you prefer.
5️⃣ Fry the Pişi:
Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium heat.
Fry the dough discs in batches, turning them over once they are golden brown on each side (about 2-3 minutes per side).
Remove the Pişi from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
6️⃣ Serve warm:
Serve your soft, fluffy Pişis warm, sprinkled with a little powdered sugar (for sweet) or with your favorite savory filling (cheese, olives, etc.)!
💡 Tips:
✅ If you prefer, you can stuff the Pişis with cheese, spinach, or even ground meat before frying for a savory version.
✅ For a lighter dough, you can add a bit of yogurt or sour cream instead of milk.
✅ Let the dough rest properly; the longer it rises, the fluffier the result! 🌟
🍽️ Enjoy your soft and fluffy Pişi – perfect with tea or as a snack anytime!
