Instructions:
-
Prepare Honey Butter:
- In a mixing bowl, blend 1/2 cup of butter and 1/2 cup of honey (and cinnamon if desired) together until fluffy. Set aside.
-
Activate Yeast:
- Sprinkle dry yeast over warm water in a small bowl.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of honey and let it stand for 5 to 10 minutes until the mixture bubbles up.
-
Prepare Dough:
- In a separate large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, white flour, and white pepper, stirring to blend.
- Pour in the activated yeast mixture and the 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
- Mix until a dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 10 minutes, until the dough is firm, elastic, and no longer sticky.
- If necessary, you can add 2 or 3 more tablespoons of flour to achieve the right consistency.
-
First Rise:
- Place 1 tablespoon of oil in a large bowl.
- Add the dough, turning to coat both the dough and the bowl with the oil.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm area until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
-
Shape Doughboys:
- After the first rise, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
- Form the dough into a cylinder approximately 2 inches in diameter.
- Cut off pieces about 1 inch thick and press each slice with your palm to flatten.
- Let the slices rest for 10 minutes.
- Roll out each slice with a rolling pin until they are ovals about 6×3 inches in size.
- Lay the ovals on waxed paper and let them rise for about 30 minutes until doubled in size.
-
Fry Doughboys:
- Cover the bottom of a skillet with a thin coat of oil and heat it.
- Fry the doughboys over medium heat until golden brown on both sides, ensuring not to rush them as they cook.
- Add more oil to the skillet as needed to prevent sticking.
-
Serve:
- Serve the fried doughboys warm with the prepared honey butter, allowing their irresistible flavors to delight your taste buds.
