Add one egg, honey and salt; mix until the honey dissolves. Add the bread flour and mix roughly.
Egg, honey, salt and bread flour
Knead to a rough dough, by hand or in a stand mixer on medium for 2 minutes.
Add the melted unsalted butter and knead on medium 10 minutes, helping the hook with a spatula, until the butter is absorbed and the dough is smooth.
Roll each piece into a strip about 20 inches long, pressing out air bubbles.
Twist two strips together in opposite directions, bring the ends together so it braids, pinch and tuck the end under. Set on a floured tray.
- oil
Heat oil to 360F. Deep fry in batches, in the order they were shaped, a couple of minutes per side until golden brown.
Variation: bake at 400F for 16 to 18 minutes; brush with butter so the cinnamon sugar sticks. Drier outside and more bread-like.
