Dough
1 cup warm water
2 tbsp melted butter
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp instant dry yeast
¼ tsp pinch salt
2 ¼ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
Canola oil, for frying
Maple Bacon
4 slices bacon
¼ cup maple syrup
Toppings
½ cup peanut butter (or other nut butter)
¼ cup roasted unsalted peanuts, crushed
Directions
1Maple Glazed Bacon: In a large skillet, lay the bacon slices flat. Cook over low heat for 8 to 10 minutes, until golden brown, turning halfway through cooking. Pour out most of the excess fat. Add the maple syrup and cook for 1 minute to glaze the slices. Let cool.
2Dough: In the bowl of the stand mixer, combine the water, butter, sugar, yeast and salt. (see note) Add the flour. With the dough hook, mix for 2 to 3 minutes. Place the dough in a clean, lightly oiled bowl. Let rest in a warm, humid place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
3Preheat the oil in a deep fryer to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
4On a floured work surface, cut the dough into 4 to 6 pieces, depending on the size of your fryer. Roll out each piece into a thin (3 to 5 mm) oval. Slip 1 piece of dough into the oil, ensuring it does not fold over onto itself, using tongs if needed. Watch out for splattering. Fry for 2 minutes on each side or until golden. Drain on the paper towels. Repeat with the remaining dough.
5Topping: On a work surface, spread the peanut butter over the warm pastry. Top with bacon pieces and peanuts. Drizzle with the glazing maple syrup. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
Tips
1
Make sure that the warm water and butter mixture is just warm to the touch to keep the yeast alive.
