💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point and is healthier.

egg

🥗Healthier: flaxseed meal

💰Cheaper: applesauce

Flaxseed meal is a great egg substitute for binding.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk is lower in calories and can replace milk.

Combine 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 0.5 teaspoons of yeast, and 1 tablespoon of salt in a large bowl.

Add 1 to 1.5 cups of water little by little until the dough is soft and sticky.

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for about an hour.

After resting, work the dough with your hands for about 5 to 10 minutes.

Put the dough back in the bowl, cover it, and let it rest in the fridge overnight.

After resting overnight, take the dough out and let it rest for another 2 hours at room temperature.

Using a wet spoon, cut the dough and fry it in a pan full of oil on medium heat until golden brown, flipping every 1 to 2 minutes.
