Form into a ball and leave covered for 45 minutesSeparate the dough into 12-16 balls
Using your palms and fingertips, press each dough into a circle and using your fingertips into a thin, round circle about 4-5 inches in diameter
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium/high heat or a quick frying pan over a frying pan until “hot”
Add one piece of bread at a time to the hot oil and simmer until golden brown, then flip. About a minute on each side *Variable for how hot oil is heated.
