Ingredients with Measurements:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a combination)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Special Equipment Needed:
- Rolling pin
- Baking sheet
- Frying pan
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir in the vegetable oil and warm water until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough for 5 minutes, then cover and let rest for 15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the shredded cheese and parsley and cook until the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out circles with a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass. Place 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture in the center of each circle. Fold the dough in half and press the edges together to seal.
4. Place the hoppang on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
