 HOW TO COOK PETULLA

Ingredients For Petulla

2 cups flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon sugar

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 cup warm water

1/2 cup warm milk

1 egg

1/4 cup vegetable oil

Oil for frying

Preparation Of Petulla

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder.

In a separate bowl, beat the egg, add in warm water, warm milk, and vegetable oil, and mix well.

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth dough forms.

Let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes.

Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.

Roll out small portions of the dough into circles, about 1/4 inch thick.

Carefully place the dough circles in the hot oil and cook until golden brown on both sides.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Serve warm and enjoy!

Note: Petulla can be filled with a variety of fillings such as cheese, meat, or spinach. Feel free to experiment and make it your own!

• Make sure to use warm water and warm milk when making the dough, as this will help the dough to rise and become fluffy.
• Letting the dough rest for at least 30 minutes is important, as it allows the gluten to develop and the dough to become more elastic.
• When rolling out the dough, make sure to dust your work surface and rolling pin with flour to prevent sticking.
• Be careful when placing the dough circles in the hot oil, as the oil may splatter. Use a slotted spoon to gently lower the dough into the oil.
• Cook the Petulla over medium heat, as cooking it over high heat will cause the outside to burn before the inside is cooked through.
• Drain the Petulla on paper towels to remove excess oil.
• Petulla can be served with a variety of dips or toppings, such as sour cream, yogurt, or feta cheese.
• It can be filled with different ingredients like meat, cheese, spinach etc. It can be made sweet with Nutella or chocolate. You can be creative and make it your own.

About the country it belongs to

Petulla, the traditional Albanian food, has a long and rich history in the country. It is believed that the dish originated in the Middle Ages when Albanians, fleeing from foreign invasions, would make the dish with whatever ingredients they had on hand. Petulla is a rich, crumbly pastry made from eggs, flour, and butter, and is often served with yogurt or jam. 

The dish reflects the history of the country itself, with its changing borders and various occupying forces. The recipe, like the culture of Albania, has evolved over the years and is now regarded as a national dish. Petulla is served in many different forms, from a light snack to a heavy meal, and is a popular dish at weddings and other major celebrations. 

In recent years, the dish has become increasingly popular outside of the country and is now widely enjoyed in many different countries. Petulla is a reminder of the history of Albania and its people, and is an important part of the country's culinary culture.
