Combine lukewarm water, yeast, sugar and let it sit for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile whisk the eggs in a small bowl for a few seconds.
In a large bowl add in flour and salt. Stir in yeast water and whisked eggs. Mix all together until the flour is completely incorporated and you have a sticky batter. Don't knead the dough, it is not necessary.
Loosely cover the bowl with a towel and let rest for 30 minutes.
Heat oil in a deep fryer pan over medium heat.
With a large spoon, scoop one spoon at the time of batter into the oil. When you get a scoop of the batter it should not droop of the spoon as easily. Fry for 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Keep adding oil if needed.
Remove the fried dough and place them in a paper towel.

I love Albanian food. Petula and bureks are favorites.
My grandma always made these for me when I went overseas to Albania, my aunt had to tell me I have to stop eating so much dough but they are so good. I would recommend making/tasting them for yourself if you haven’t, it’s savory and delicious.
so good!!! I haven’t tried it yet, but it’s a simple recipes! Delish and nutrish!!!
Made them with my girl scouts (ages 5-16) last night for thinking day. They were a huge hit, we had no leftovers. We did a garlic and walnut sourcream dip as well as sweet toppings.
