The method
Step by step
- 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, granulated sugar, and salt.
About 2 min
- 2
Gradually add the warm water to the dry ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon or your hands until a sticky, shaggy dough forms.
About 3 min
Cook’s note: The dough will be very wet; avoid adding more flour.
- 3
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rest in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
About 1 hr
Cook’s note: A slightly warm oven (turned off) can be a good place for rising dough.
- 4
After the first rise, gently punch down the dough to release the air.
About 1 min
- 5
Cover the bowl again and let the dough rise for another 30 minutes.
About 30 min
- 6
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until it reaches 175°C (350°F).
About 5 min
Cook’s note: Use a candy thermometer to accurately measure the oil temperature.
- 7
Dip your hands in a little water to prevent sticking, then take a small amount of dough (about the size of a golf ball) and gently stretch it into a ring shape, creating a hole in the center.
About 5 min
Cook’s note: Don't worry about perfect shapes; rustic is part of the charm.
- 8
Carefully slide the dough rings into the hot oil, frying a few at a time without overcrowding the pot.
About 2 min
- 9
Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and puffed.
About 6 min
Cook’s note: Adjust heat as needed to maintain a consistent oil temperature.

Remove the khringo with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
About 1 min
- 11
Serve warm, drizzled with agave nectar or dusted with powdered sugar, if desired.
