Hi, could someone please tell me how to cook it. I love the fried bread that is a nice golden brown colour and holey inside not dense like fried scones. Thank you would be happy to know how its done as I seem to not get it right.

here is from an old thread; Fried bread, 2 teaspoons of b powder to one cup flour, add salt 1/3tspoon, or a pinch. Make a well in the middle, add water, continue to blend, while adding water, till the mixture is wet, but keep adding flour so it comes away from the bowl. Clean your bowl out, and place on a floured bench, knead the dough, and bring the side's to the middle, moving your dough evenly on the bench. Keep adding flour, so dough is not sticking to the bench, but not to much, so it wont dry out, or get lumps in it. knead for about ten min, until nicely shaped like a ball. You can use a rolling pin, or just just use the back of your knuckles. Don't flatten out to much, you want them to rise, as thick as the side of your finger, i m sure will be fine, and always fry when the fat is hot. Oil is okay to use, just chuck a flake of flour in, to see if it's hot enough, but keep watching them, so they don't burn, and turn it down, if your not in control. Fry till golden brown, I can give you another recipe to make takako, without b powder, you cook it in the oven, and one using sure to rise, (yeast). I check back with and see how you got on with this one.

The only fried bread ofr me 9 and I have not had it in years) is the one Mum used to do when she did a cooked breakfast. The bread was always sliced into triangles with the crust removed and was added to the hot remaining bacon fat after the bacon had been cooked. The bacon fat gives you the taste.

I made some for the first time last week at my Nans tangi, it was a huge hit!
Going to try out a smaller batch tomorrow, will let you know my progress and the recipe, if its successful.
It was yeast based, soft and not too brown or crispy on the outside. Clouds of heaven! Apparently you can use the same recipe/dough for a variation of rewena.

years ago i worked in the kitchen at local maori girls college. last friday in month was fried bread and golden syrup, after lunch we made a scone dough, cut into 2inch squares, and had to use my thumb to make an indent inthe middle, deep fried, and then the girls had bowls of golden syrup to pour/dip them in. They dont do it now, for obvious health reasons, but now and then my family crave for them. I love em. in fact feel like them now... . .
