Petulla | Traditional Fried Dough From Albania, Southeastern Europe | TasteAtlas

Petulla

Petulla is a traditional snack and the Albanian version of fried dough. The dough is usually made with a combination of flour, yeast, milk, eggs, sugar, salt, and vegetable oil. Once mixed, the dough is left to rest, and it's then scooped out and dropped in hot oil in batches.


The dough balls are cooked on all sides for a few minutes until golden brown. The fried dough is drained on paper towels and it's then enjoyed with powdered sugar, honey, raspberry jam, or feta cheese for a salty kick.
