Method
 
- Mix dry ingredients and set aside: all purpose flour + whole wheat flour (sift both) + instant yeast
- In a blender mix wet ingredients: evaporated/butter milk + sweet potato puree + egg + sugar + salt + vanilla essence
- Pour blended ingredients to a bowl and gradually add dry ingredients as you fold in and knead. Do not be tempted to add flour. Only add water if dough is hard.
- Add melted butter and fold in till well incorporated. You will get an extremely soft dough
- Dust your working surface with a little flour and knead your dough to a nice soft dough
- Put in a bowl and cover for 1.5hrs to 2hrs maximum
- Punch down dough when it’s done
- Dust surface with flour and roll out dough to 1/4inch thickness and cut to desired squares, place on dusted surface and cover for 10mins
- Heat up your oil on medium high heat and fry your mandazi till golden brown.
- Serve as desired
Note: hot oil/high heat will not allow mandazi cook well on the inside so be careful.
if you have no blender just mix wet ingredients in a bowl with a laddle.
