Chef's Notes
Do not rush the kneading process. A well-rested dough is the secret to a magnificent puff.
Pro Tip
Ensure your oil is smoking hot before dropping the dough in, otherwise, it will just sink and drink oil like a sponge.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If your dough is too wet, it will stick to the rolling pin like superglue, resulting in sad, flat discs instead of magnificent balloons.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
My Jester says the Luchi is just a balloon made of flour that lost its ambition to fly.
The Culinary Science
The sudden expansion of trapped water inside the dough turns into steam when hitting the hot oil, creating that gorgeous puffed pocket.

Starch Retrogradation Reversal
Storage Science
Store at room temperature in a breathable bread bag or paper wrapper for up to 2 days. DO NOT refrigerate, as the cold accelerates starch retrogradation (staling). For long-term storage, freeze tightly wrapped.
Reheating Science
To reverse staling, flick a few drops of water onto the crust and reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-8 minutes. The steam will re-gelatinize the starches, making the crumb soft and the crust crisp.
