Bread

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal live. John 3:16 (NIV)

4 cups H-E-B High Protein Flour (bread flour)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons Crisco® Butter Flavored Stick
1 package Active Yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup milk, scalded and cooled to room temperature
Cooking Oil, for frying
1 cup honey or syrup

Combine flour, baking powder, salt, and Crisco Stick in a large mixing bowl. Blend flour with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes. Set mixture aside.

Combine 1/2 cup warm water, yeast and sugar in a small bowl; stir to dessolve yeast. Allow yeast mixture to set 5 to 10 minutes so that it begins to foam.

Combine yeast mixture, milk, and flour with hands to form a dough. Knead dough (punch with fist and fold over) 15 to 20 times so that dough develops elastic texture. Cover dough with a towel and set aside in a warm area of counter. Allow dough to double in size (about 40 minutes).

Divide dough into ping pong ball size pieces. Roll out each dough ball to 1/8-inch thickness and cut into 4 to 6 pieces and set aside.

Heat oil to 375°F. in electric fryer or heavy skillet. Fry 4 to 5 pieces of dough at a time in hot oil until golden and puffy on both sides. Drain Sopapillas on paper towels. Serve Sopapillas hot with honey, syrup, or powdered sugar with cinnamon. Makes 12 servings.
