To begin, sift the flour through a sieve to make it airy. Prepare a rolling pin and a saucepan; you'll need them soon.
Combine water and milk in a glass, then gently warm the mixture in the microwave until lukewarm.
Arrange the cut pieces on a table, cover them with a towel, and let them rest for another 20 minutes.
Fill a saucepan with vegetable oil for frying and heat it thoroughly over high heat. Carefully lower the prepared dough pieces into the hot oil and fry until a beautiful golden crust forms. Place the finished baursaks on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve the fragrant Kazakh baursaks immediately after cooking, arranging them in an appetizing mound. If desired, sprinkle them with powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
Add yeast and sugar to the warm milk and water mixture, then stir thoroughly. Let the starter sit in a warm place for 15 minutes to activate.
Sift the flour onto a clean work surface and mix it with salt. Make a small well in the center of the flour mound.
Pour the leaven and sunflower oil into the well. Knead a soft, uniform dough.
Transfer the prepared dough to a bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1.5 hours. Then punch down the dough and let it rest for another 30-40 minutes.
Place the risen dough on a work surface and roll it out with a rolling pin into a layer about 1 cm thick.
Using a glass or a small round cutter, cut neat circles from the dough.
