Ingredients

  • 185 g plain flour (1 1/4 cups)
  • 120 g polenta (3/4 cup)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 55 g caster sugar (1/4 cup)
  • vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Sift plain flour into a bowl and add polenta, salt, baking powder and caster sugar. Stir to combine. Gradually add 180ml (3/4 cup) water, while stirring, to form a sticky dough.
  2. Cover with plastic wrap and rest for 35 minutes.
  3. Fill a deep-fryer or large saucepan one-third full with vegetable oil and heat over medium heat to 180°C (or until a cube of bread turns golden in 10 seconds).
  4. Knead dough on a lightly floured work surface for 1 minute, then divide into 12 and shape into 8cm logs.
  5. Working in batches, gently drop logs into oil and fry, turning halfway, for 5 minutes or until golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel.
  6. Serve bread warm.
