Fried bread

Hi does anyone know how to make fried bread which is crispy on the outside and soft in the middle I had a mussel fritter at waitangi yesterday and the fried bread it was in was so nice mine never seems to be soft inside thanks in anticipation

This is the one I make and is soft in the middle.
In a bowl put 2 tbsp yeast, 1 tbsp sugar, salt, 2 tbsp flour and approx 2 cups warm water. Leave for 10 minutes till frothy. Add 4 cups of flour and knead. Pat out into a square and cut in to pieces. Deep fry.

just turned the food chanel on and saw bobby flay cooking up his fried bread dough, I just heard him say that the baking powder was doing it's thing... - totally pissed that I missed him make up the dough...can't be much to it though..I'd like a slightly sweet one...

Will give your one a go though jan...would it still turn out right if I put a bit more sugar?

How deep does the oil need to be? (Minimum)I'm not a fan of frying things but I do love a good fried bread.

Make Breadmaker dough.(Takes 45mins in my breadmaker) Roll it out quite thinly. Cut into squares or other shapes. Shallow fry in a mixture of Light olive oil and butter. I usually divide the dough in 2 and keep some in the fridge for another day (This only works if you have only 2 - 4 people as it is so nice!!)
