How to make Strawberry Bombs

Prepare the Dough

  1. Step 1

    In a medium bowl, combine sugar, yeast, and milk. Stir to dissolve.

  2. Step 2

    Whisk the egg. Add the flour and salt, and start kneading the dough with a spatula. Then continue kneading with your hands until you get an elastic dough.

  3. Step 3

    Add the softened butter and continue kneading until the butter is well incorporated into the dough.

  4. Step 4

    Form a ball with the dough, cover with a tea towel or plastic wrap, and let rise for an hour.

Shape and Cook

  1. Step 1

    Divide the dough into 8 parts and roll each into a ball. Cover and let stand for 30 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Flatten each ball a little and roll it into a ball again. Cover and let rest for another 30 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Fry the balls in hot oil over low heat for 2-3 minutes on each side.

  4. Step 4

    Cool slightly and cut in half lengthwise, like a burger bun.

Decorate and Serve

  1. Step 1

    Garnish half with whipped cream and chopped strawberries, close with the other half, sprinkle with icing sugar and serve.
