Directions
- 1
Place the flour in a large bowl and make a well in the center.
- 2
Stir the salt into the warm water until dissolved, then gradually pour it along with the oil into the well, mixing continuously until a shaggy dough forms.
- 3
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5–8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- 4
Shape into a ball, cover with a damp cloth, and rest for 30 minutes — skipping this step will make the dough tough and hard to roll.
- 5
Roll out to about 2 mm thick, cut into rounds or squares, add your filling, then press the edges firmly to seal.
- 6
Fry in oil heated to 350–360 °F (175–180 °C) until golden brown, then drain on paper towels and serve hot.
💡 Chef's Tip
Keep the dough covered while you work to prevent it drying out. A fork or pastry crimper along the edges gives a neat seal that holds up during frying.
