How to Make Baursaki Kazakhstan Fried Bread

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm water, milk, and egg.
3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon or your hands until a soft dough forms.
4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough back into the mixing bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rest for 30 minutes.
6. While the dough rests, heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat. The oil is ready when a small piece of dough dropped in sizzles immediately.
7. Once the dough has rested, roll it into a long sausage shape and cut it into 1-inch pieces.
8. Gently roll each piece into a ball and flatten it slightly with your palm.
9. Carefully drop the flattened dough balls into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry in batches if necessary.
10. Fry the Baursaki for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and puffed up. Use a slotted spoon to turn them carefully.
11. Remove the fried Baursaki from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
12. Serve the warm Baursaki immediately. Enjoy!
