Frequently Asked Questions About Tomato fried dough
What is tomato fried dough?
Tomato fried dough is a savory dough made with tomato and cooked in hot oil. Recipes vary: some use grated fresh tomato, while others add tomato paste for a deeper color and flavor. It is a tomato-flavored take on Turkish pişi.
How do you make tomato fried dough?
To make tomato fried dough, mix flour with tomato, salt and the leavening called for in your recipe, then work it into a soft dough. Let it rest if needed, shape it into pieces and fry until golden on both sides.
What is the difference between tomato fried dough and regular pişi?
Tomato fried dough has tomato mixed into its dough, while regular pişi is usually made from a plain savory dough. The tomato adds flavor and color, and its moisture can change the dough’s texture and how much flour it needs.
Should you use fresh tomatoes or tomato paste in tomato fried dough?
You can use either fresh tomato or tomato paste in tomato fried dough. Grated fresh tomato gives a lighter, juicier flavor, while paste adds concentrated tomato taste and color. Drain excess liquid from fresh tomato so the dough does not become too wet.
Why doesn’t tomato fried dough puff up?
Tomato fried dough may not puff if its yeast is inactive, the dough has not rested enough, or excess tomato liquid has made it heavy. Use fresh, properly activated yeast when the recipe calls for it, and drain grated tomato before mixing it in.
Can you make tomato fried dough without yeast?
Yes, tomato fried dough can be made without yeast. Some recipes use baking powder instead, which avoids a long proofing time but gives the dough a different texture. Follow the leavening method in the recipe rather than swapping ingredients one for one.
How do you keep tomato fried dough from absorbing too much oil?
Fry tomato fried dough in sufficiently hot oil and avoid crowding the pan. Oil that is not hot enough can soak into the dough, while overcrowding lowers the oil temperature. Drain the cooked pieces on paper towels before serving.
What do you serve with tomato fried dough?
Tomato fried dough goes well with yogurt or a yogurt dip, and it can be served with cheese, olives or eggs for breakfast. Since it is savory and fried, fresh vegetables or salad make a lighter accompaniment.
Can tomato fried dough be baked instead of fried?
Yes, you can bake tomato fried dough, but it will not have the same crisp, fried texture. Arrange shaped pieces on a lined baking tray and bake until golden. The result is a baked variation rather than the traditional fried version.
How should you store leftover tomato fried dough?
Let leftover tomato fried dough cool, then store it in a covered container in the refrigerator and eat it soon. Reheat it in a pan or oven to improve its texture; microwaving can make it soft. Do not leave it at room temperature for long.

What is Tomato fried dough?
Tomato fried dough is a savoury Turkish pişi: pieces of dough, commonly made with flour, yeast and tomato, are fried until puffed and golden. Pişi is a familiar home-style preparation in Turkey, where recipes and shapes vary; tomato adds colour and a mild tang to the dough.
It is best served warm, often at breakfast or alongside tea, and can be paired with olives, cheese or yoghurt. As a fried dough, it supplies both carbohydrates and fat; it has 326 calories per 100 g. For a lighter plate, keep the portion modest and add fresh greens or a simple salad.
