About Bambalouni

Sonia’s La Tunisienne presents bambalouni as the familiar Tunisian ring-shaped fritter, eaten with a sprinkling of sugar throughout the day. Her version uses a simple dough of flour, water, salt and baker’s yeast.

The sugar coating gives the fried dough its sweetness. The lightly salted dough supplies a savoury counterpoint, keeping the flavour centred on the plain fritter and its sugary finish.

The sticky dough forms rings with a golden surface. These open-centred pieces carry the sugar on the outside, making a simple handheld sweet.
