Romanian: Poale-n-briu – for parties or in between

Mix the flour with the yeast, add the salt, and then gradually add the water (knead on a board or tabletop). The dough should be smooth; add more water if necessary. Knead for a long time and roll out thinly. Cut into squares (approx. 10 x 10 cm). Mix the filling together and place it on each square. Close the dough into pockets: First lift up one corner, then lift a section of dough along the edge onto the first corner and stick it, and so on until the pocket is closed (it should look round). Deep-fry the pockets in hot oil, floating. Turn over if necessary. When golden brown, let cool on a kitchen towel. If any of the filling leaks out during frying, remove it from the oil. They taste delicious both cold and warm!
