Petulla

In Albania and Kosovo, petulla are fried on weekend mornings and for family celebrations: a very soft, wet yeast dough is pulled into rough rounds with oiled hands and dropped into hot oil, where it puffs into golden, airy fritters. They are eaten hot with feta-style cheese, jam, honey or a dusting of sugar, alongside tea or coffee. The common mistake is adding flour until the dough is firm and easy to handle; it should be almost too wet to hold, which is what makes petulla light and hollow. Chef's tip: keep a bowl of oil beside the pan and dip your fingers in it before each fritter, so the sticky dough slides off your hand and stretches thin.

Matzo brei

During the eight days of Passover, when bread is off the table, matzo brei is what Ashkenazi households all over Israel make for breakfast, and families argue cheerfully about whether it should be sweet or salty. Sheets of matzo are broken up, briefly soaked, squeezed and stirred into beaten eggs, then fried in butter until golden in places and soft in others. Eat it with cinnamon sugar or jam, or with salt, pepper and fried onions. Matzo is wheat, so this is not gluten free. The common mistake is soaking the matzo too long, which turns it to wet paste; it only needs a quick dip. Chef's tip: let the mixture sit undisturbed in the pan for a minute before turning, to get proper golden patches.
