Make Your Own Parāoa Parai (Fried Bread Kit)

Steps

1. Bring milk and water measure to room temperature.
2. Place milk, water measure, oil, sugar and yeast in a bowl, stir to combine and leave for 5 minutes to allow yeast to activate. After 5 minutes, add flour and salt measure and stir to combine. Use your hands to knead for 2-3 minutes, until smooth and elastic. You can add a little more flour if the dough is too sticky. Cover the dough and leave to rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
3. Drizzle some oil on a clean bench or surface and place dough on bench. Use your hands to press out dough into a 2cm-thick rectangle. Cut into 12 squares and leave to rise again for a further 15 minutes.
4. Heat enough oil to cover the bottom of your frypan on low heat. Fry dough in batches for 3-4 minutes each side, until golden. You may need to adjust the temperature of your oil as you go, dough will take a few minutes on each side in order to cook through. If you accidentally take it out too soon, you can pop in the oven on at 160°C for a few minutes to cook through completely.
5. Cut a hole in honey sachet and squeeze a little onto each bread, then use a pastry brush to glaze parāoa parai with honey. Serve immediately.
