Equipment

  • Frying pan
  • Saucepan
  • Chopping board
  • Rolling Pin
  • Mixing bowls
  • Fork
  • Strainer or paper towels

Ingredients
  

For the Mango Filling

  • 3 ripe mangoes
  • 3 tablespoons white sugar

For the Pie

  • Loaf bread slices
  • 2 eggs
  • Breadcrumbs
  • Oil for deep-frying

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mango Filling

  • Peel and slice the ripe mangoes, then cut them into small cubes.
  • Place the mangoes in a pan and add the white sugar. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mangoes release their juices and the mixture becomes thick and jam-like.
  • Mash some of the mango pieces while leaving a few chunks for texture. Remove from heat and allow the filling to cool completely.

Prepare the Bread

  • Place a slice of loaf bread on a chopping board and cut away all four crusts.
  • Flatten the bread using a rolling pin. If you don't have one, a smooth-edged glass can be used instead.
  • Repeat with the remaining bread slices.

Fill and Seal

  • Place some cooled mango filling on one side of the flattened bread.
  • Brush the edges with beaten egg or a little water. Fold the bread over the filling and press the edges together.
  • Use a fork to firmly seal and crimp the edges. Repeat with the remaining bread and mango filling.

Coat the Pies

  • Beat the eggs in a small bowl.
  • Place the breadcrumbs in another bowl.
  • Dip each prepared pie into the beaten egg, then coat completely with breadcrumbs. Set the coated pies aside while preparing the remaining pieces.

Fry

  • Heat enough oil for deep-frying over medium heat.
  • Fry the mango pies in batches until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan so the oil temperature remains steady.
  • Remove the cooked pies and place them in a strainer or on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Serve

  • Serve the Mango Bread Pies warm and crispy. Enjoy them on their own or with chocolate syrup, your favorite dipping sauce, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • Use very ripe and sweet mangoes for the best filling.
  • Cook the mango mixture until thick before using it. A watery filling can cause the pies to open while frying.
  • Let the mango filling cool completely before assembling.
  • Don't overfill the bread. A moderate amount of filling makes the pies easier to seal.
  • Press the edges firmly with a fork to prevent the filling from leaking.
  • Flatten the bread enough to make it flexible, but avoid making it so thin that it tears.
  • Fry over medium heat. Excessively high heat can brown the breadcrumbs too quickly.
  • Fry in batches to maintain a steady oil temperature.
  • Drain the pies immediately after frying for a crispier coating.
  • For the best texture, serve the mango bread pies while they're still warm.
