Method
500 g. Plain Flour
10 g. Instant Yeast

30 g. White Sugar
250 ml. Lukewarm Water
500 ml. Vegetable Oil for Deep Frying
In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar.
Add the lukewarm water gradually, mixing well until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface until it is smooth and elastic.
Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let the dough rise until it has doubled in size, approximately 1 hour.

Divide the dough into 12 equal parts, roll them into balls, and let them rest for a few minutes.
Deep fry the dough balls in the hot oil until they are golden brown, then drain them on paper towels.
