Sourdough Nepalese Bread

This unique Sourdough Nepalese Bread offers a delightful twist on traditional bread-making. Combining the tangy depth of sourdough starter with warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, these rolls boast a rich, aromatic flavor profile. The dough is enriched with whole wheat flour and egg, creating a soft yet hearty texture. Unlike baked loaves, these are shallow-fried until puffed and golden brown, resulting in a crispy exterior and tender interior. Perfectly paired with savory dishes like lamb stew or enjoyed as a standalone snack, this recipe brings a comforting, homemade quality to your table. It's an excellent way to use up extra sourdough starter while introducing a new dimension to your bread repertoire.

Directions

1
In a small bowl, combine the sourdough starter, beaten egg, and milk.
2
In a large bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
3
Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
4
Knead the dough briefly until it forms a smooth ball. Add more flour if the dough is too sticky, but keep it soft.
5
Cover the dough and let it rise for 30 minutes.
6
Divide the dough into 4 equal parts.
7
Shape each part into a ball.
8
On a lightly floured surface, roll out each ball into an 8-inch circle.
9
Cut each circle into quarters, creating 16 triangular pieces.
10
Heat 1 1/2 inches of salad oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 400°F (204°C).
11
Carefully lower one piece of dough into the hot oil.
12
As soon as the dough floats to the surface, immediately turn it over using a slotted spatula.
13
Fry for about 2 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown on both sides.
14
Remove the bread with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
15
Repeat with remaining dough pieces. Serve warm.
