Start by activating the yeast: add 1 tbsp of dry yeast and 1 tbsp of sugar into a cup, then add 1 cup of water. Mix and cover to rest for about 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, check the yeast; it should be active.

In a mixing bowl, add 4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of sugar, 2 tbsp of milk powder, and 1/4 tsp of salt. Mix these dry ingredients together.

Add the activated yeast mixture into the flour mixture.

Add 1 egg to the mixture and mix again.

Knead the dough by hand for about 10 minutes until it becomes soft. Alternatively, you can use a mixer to knead the dough.

Transfer the kneaded dough back into the bowl, cover it, and allow it to rest and rise for about 60 minutes.

After 60 minutes, the dough should have doubled in size. Cut, roll, and twist the dough into the desired shape.

Cover the twisted dough and let it proof in a warm place for about 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, the dough should have doubled in size again. Heat enough oil in a deep frying pan until moderately hot.

Fry the twisted dough until golden brown on both sides, then remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
