I've never made Youtiao before, but this recipe made it so easy. The dough was easy to work with and the Youtiao fried up perfectly. They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I served them with soy milk and they were the perfect break

This is a great recipe for Youtiao. The dough is easy to work with. I rolled mine out to be about 8 inches long and then twisted them before frying. They came out perfectly crispy and fluffy.

So happy I tried this recipe! The Youtiao were delicious and so easy to make. I used a bread machine to make the dough, which saved me a lot of time. They were the perfect addition to my dim sum brunch.

Great recipe, easy to follow. I used active dry yeast and let it rise for about an hour and a half. The Youtiao came out perfect, crispy and fluffy. I served them with condensed milk for dipping.

These Youtiao were a hit! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I used a stand mixer to make the dough, which made it really easy. I also used a candy thermometer to make sure the oil was at the right temperature before frying. It
