Ingredients

• 6 slices of white bread
• 1/2 cup of milk
• 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup of powdered sugar
• 1/4 tsp of cardamom powder
• 1/4 tsp of baking powder
• Oil for frying
• For the sugar syrup:
• 1 cup of sugar
• 1 cup of water
• 2-3 cardamom pods
• A pinch of saffron (optional)

Instructions

1. Start by making the sugar syrup. In a saucepan, add 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of water, and 2-3 cardamom pods. Bring it to a boil and let it simmer for 5 minutes until the sugar completely dissolves. Add a pinch of saffron (if using) and turn off the heat. Set the syrup aside to cool down.
2. Remove the crusts from the bread slices and cut them into small pieces. In a mixing bowl, add the bread pieces and 1/2 cup of milk. Mix it well until the bread absorbs all the milk.
3. Now add 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/4 tsp of cardamom powder, and 1/4 tsp of baking powder to the bread mixture. Mix it well until it forms a smooth dough. The dough should be soft and not too sticky. If the dough is too dry, you can add a little more milk; if it’s too sticky, add a little more flour.
4. Heat oil in a deep-frying pan over medium heat. To test if the oil is ready, drop a small piece of dough into the oil. If it sizzles and rises to the surface immediately, the oil is ready.
5. Meanwhile, divide the dough into equal sized balls and roll them between your palms. Make sure there are no cracks on the surface of the balls.
6. Gently slide the dough balls into the hot oil and fry them until they turn golden brown. Make sure to stir them occasionally for even frying. Remove the fried dough balls (gulab jamuns) with a slotted spoon and place them onto a kitchen towel to remove any excess oil.
7. Add the fried gulab jamuns to the sugar syrup while it’s still warm. Let them soak in the syrup for at least 30 minutes before serving.
8. Your easy bread gulab jamuns are ready! Serve them warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the soft and sweet goodness of this traditional Indian dessert.

Tips for perfect bread gulab jamuns

• Make sure the oil is at the right temperature for frying. Too low of a temperature will make the gulab jamuns absorb too much oil, and too high of a temperature will make them brown too quickly on the outside, leaving them uncooked on the inside.
• Roll the dough balls between your palms gently. Avoid applying too much pressure as it may cause cracks on the surface of the balls.
• Once the gulab jamuns are fried, make sure to drain them on a kitchen towel to remove any excess oil before adding them to the sugar syrup.
• Let the gulab jamuns soak in the sugar syrup for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will ensure that they are soft and completely infused with the syrup.
• If the sugar syrup becomes too thick or sticky, you can add a little water to thin it out. Just make sure to warm it up before adding the gulab jamuns.
