Ingredients
To prepare the( fried dumplings), a bowl, crumble in the yeast, add the teaspoon of sugar then add 50 ml of warm water(from the total amount): Melt the yeast, stirring well with a spoon.
then add 2 tablespoons of flour ,to form a very soft batter which let it rest for half an hour. After the half hour add the remaining flour in a large bowl and add the batter.
add your margarine ,add your 10 grams of salt in about 125 ml of warm water , when the salt is dissolved pour all the water inside the bowl and begin kneading
When the liquid has been completely incorporated into the flour , transfer the dough on a floured board and knead until it becomes smooth and homogeneous , so keep the dough forms a ball, and cross-slit it.
place your dough in a large bowl that you have previously oiled , seal the bowl with plastic wrap . Let rise for about 2 hours in a warm place. until the dough has nearly tripled the volume.
After the time necessary, remove the dough and knead on a floured surface. and roll it out into a sheet about 3 mm , with a cutter blade cut your gnocchi squares of 8-10 cm wide ....or as small or big as desired .
Now make a pot, with plenty of oil and let it warm up (19).
Dip a few gnocchi at a time in 'oil fry, remove them with and put the fried dumplings to dry on a paper towel to remove' excess oil.
Serve your fried dumplings still hot with a nice platter of mixed sausages, bacon and some cheese with which you are going to fill them after they have been cut in half .... Enjoy!
