Method

• 1.
  Combine flour, cocoa, sugar, bicarb, baking powder and 1 tsp salt flakes in a large bowl.
• 2.
  Place yeast, extra 1 tsp sugar and 1 1/2 cups (375ml) lukewarm water in a separate bowl. Whisk to combine, then set aside for 5 minutes or until frothy.
• 3.
  Pour yeast mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Transfer dough to a large oiled bowl and cover with a damp tea towel. Stand for 1 hour or until dough has doubled in size.
• 4.
  For the coffee sugar, combine coffee and sugar in a small bowl and set aside.
• 5.
  Half-fill a large saucepan with oil. Heat to 180°C (a cube of bread will turn golden in 45 seconds when the oil is hot enough). In batches, carefully drop teaspoon-sized of dough balls into the oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel-lined tray.
