Mix the flour, dry yeast, half the sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
Add the lukewarm water and the vegetable oil for the dough, then knead a soft dough.
Cover the dough and leave it to rise for 1 hour.
Divide the dough into 8 pieces and shape them into rings with oiled hands.
Heat the frying oil to 175°C and fry the rings in batches for 3 minutes.
Transfer the fried bambalouni to paper and drain the excess oil for 2 minutes.
Coat with granulated sugar while still hot and serve.
💡 Tip: Lightly oil your hands when opening the rings; adding flour looks easy, but it makes bambalouni tough after frying.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve bambalouni hot, sprinkled with sugar, with optional mint tea or Turkish tea.
