VETKOEK
Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl, sieve the flour and combine the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Mix well.
- Add the water and the vegetable oil and mix into a soft, smooth dough.
- Place the dough on a floured surface and gently knead for 5-10 minutes. You may need to add a little more flour to the dough to prevent it from sticking to your fingers. I mixed everything in the food processor for about 5 minutes.
- Cover the mixture with a tea towel and allow it to rise for about one hour. The dough should roughly double in size.
- Turn out the dough on a lightly floured surface divide it into equal portions. (depending on the size you prefer I made smallish ones each weighing about 40gr) , roll each portion to a smooth ball, lay them in a tray lined with parchment paper cover them with a clean kitchen towel let it rest for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Heat a large pot of vegetable oil over a medium flame for deep frying. Test the temperature of the oil by dropping a little batter in. If it sizzles, you're ready to start frying.
- When the oil is ready, lift a risen ball carefully and place it into the warm oil -with the risen side (top) going in first, which will cause the flat side (bottom) to rise and puff out to make a round Vetkoek. Allow to colour on the one side for about 5 minutes and turn. Fry for a further 5 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Make sure to turn them frequently until golden brown.
- Drain on towel papers, slice open with a knife fill with your favourite filling or our delicious mince curry and enjoy them warm.
VETKOEK WITH MEAT FILLING
One recipe i looked at said "england has its yorkshire pudding, South Africa its vetkoek" It is fried dough filled with whatever you like once you cut it open. The author of this one suggests leftover veggie curry as well if you can't find the canned. The literal translation of this is "Fat cake". Taken from bigoven website. You can also just use jam or any savory "filling"

Steps:

- Mix dry ingredients with yeast liquid using a wooden spoon.
- Work to a firm dough, adding extra flour if needed, until sides of bowl are clean.
- Turn dough on to a lightly floured table and knead thouroughly until it is firm, elastic and no longer sticky (about 10 minutes).
- Shape dough into a ball and place into mixing bowl and cover with cloth.
- Allow dough to double in size and dough springs back when pressed with a floured finger (60 minutes in a warm place, 2 hours at room temperature).
- Turn risen dough onto a lightly floured surface, flatten to knock out air bubbles and knead to make firm. Flatten to about 1 cm thick (little less than inch) and cut pieces into 8 cm x 8 cm (3" x 3").
- Cook in warm oil until brown.
- Slice open and smear with butter, jam or mince filling (many people actually would use all three).
- Mince filling:.
- Fry onions in oil until light brown. Add ground beef and cook for about 15 minutes. Add potatoes and enough water to cook gently for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add vegetable curry and cook for another 5 to 10 minutes. The mince should not be watery.

SOUTH AFRICAN "VETKOEK" (BREAD MACHINE RECIPE)
Very traditional 'deep-fried breadrolls'; sounds weird but unbelievably good. We grew up with these at least once a week: either filled with curried 'mince' (ground beef) (these we called curry bunnies); or just halved and spread with butter and preserves or syrup. Yumm.

- Enjoy.
- (cooking time is bread machine cycle).
