SOUTH AFRICAN VETKOEK
Vetkoek means fat cake, since you are frying and not baking the bread. It is a classic South African bread, served with savory or sweet fillings.

- Serve hot with any filling you like. A few examples: Savory:Tuna or chicken mayo, mince(ground beef) & cheese, etc. Sweet:Syrup, etc.

SOUTH AFRICAN "VETKOEK" (BREAD MACHINE RECIPE)
Very traditional 'deep-fried breadrolls'; sounds weird but unbelievably good. We grew up with these at least once a week: either filled with curried 'mince' (ground beef) (these we called curry bunnies); or just halved and spread with butter and preserves or syrup. Yumm.

Steps:
- Measure water into bread machine pan.
- Add dry ingredients.
- Add yeast.
- Set machine on 'dough setting' and start.
- When done (after 1 1/2 hrs) remove and divide into 10 balls on lightly floured surface. Flatten slightly.
- Let rise for 1/2 hour in warm place.
- Warm oil in pan - about 1 inch deep - on medium heat setting (not hot!).
- Fry vetkoeks about 5 minutes a side (turn over when golden). Pack them quite close together in the pan: it helps with rising.
- They should be the color of doughnuts when ready.
- Drain on kitchen towels.
- As soon as you can bear to touch them, slice open and spread with butter and your favorite preserve.
- Enjoy.
- (cooking time is bread machine cycle).

VETKOEK WITH MEAT FILLING
One recipe i looked at said "england has its yorkshire pudding, South Africa its vetkoek" It is fried dough filled with whatever you like once you cut it open. The author of this one suggests leftover veggie curry as well if you can't find the canned. The literal translation of this is "Fat cake". Taken from bigoven website. You can also just use jam or any savory "filling"

- Work to a firm dough, adding extra flour if needed, until sides of bowl are clean.
- Turn dough on to a lightly floured table and knead thouroughly until it is firm, elastic and no longer sticky (about 10 minutes).

- Allow dough to double in size and dough springs back when pressed with a floured finger (60 minutes in a warm place, 2 hours at room temperature).

- Cook in warm oil until brown.
- Slice open and smear with butter, jam or mince filling (many people actually would use all three).
- Mince filling:.
