What do we need:
- 250g flour
- 2.5 dl warn water
- 1/2 teaspoon yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 and 1/2 tablespoon yogurt
- red and yellow food coloring
- 250 g of sugar or liquid honey
and few drops of orange flower water
- oil (for frying pan)
In a big bowl, put the flour, yeast, baking powder and yogurt. While mixing add progressively the water. You should obtain a batter in which you incorporate both yellow and red coloring, which should turn to some orange (not necessary shine, it will come brighter later).
Cover the batter and keep it in room temperature for 2 hours.
When the dough has doubled in volume, mix it again. Cover and let rise again 1 hour. Mix it again. You have to repeat the process about 4 / 5 times so the dough does not rise more. (the dough can be also prepared the day before)
Heat a frying pan, with about 2 inches of oil. The oil must be hot.
Then form of scrolls over the oil turning to form a spiral. Cook on both sides by turning the Zlabia and drain the excess of oil by putting on paper towels.
Repeat until the end of the dough.
Finally dip the Zlebia in the syrup (made of sugar or honey and orange flower water) and let them soak up the syrup few minutes.
Ready to enjoy.
