A Healthy Twist on Puff Puff: A Crafting Guide
Puff Puff, a beloved West African snack, is known for its soft, airy texture and delightful sweetness. In a recent cooking tutorial, Linda from the "Cooking with AIA" channel introduced a healthy take on this classic recipe, incorporating oatmeal for added nutrition while maintaining its delicious flavor.
Activating the Yeast
To begin, Linda demonstrates the importance of activating yeast. Using warm water, she adds about one tablespoon of sugar and two tablespoons of dried yeast. This mixture is then covered and set aside for 10 to 15 minutes to ensure that the yeast is properly activated. This critical step helps prevent waste, ensuring that the yeast is indeed alive and ready to help the dough rise.
