Toutons (Newfoundland Fried Bread)

Ingredients

• •3 cups all-purpose flour
• •2 tsp instant yeast
• •1 tbsp granulated sugar
• •1 tsp salt
• •1 1/4 cups warm water
• •2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• •3 tbsp vegetable oil
• •1/2 cup molasses

Directions

1. 1Mix flour, yeast, sugar, and salt, then add warm water and melted butter to form a soft dough.
2. 2Knead for 7 minutes, cover, and let the dough rise for 60 minutes.
3. 3Punch down the dough and divide it into twelve small rounds.
4. 4Flatten each round to about 1/2 inch thick.
5. 5Pan-fry the toutons in vegetable oil for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
6. 6Serve hot with molasses spooned over the top.

💡 Keep the rounds fairly thin; thick toutons brown outside before the yeasted centre has time to cook through.
