Add 2 cups of flour to a bowl.

Add 1 spoonful of sugar and 1 teaspoon of salt to the flour.

Add a bag of yeast to the mixture.

Mix all dry ingredients together.

Add 1 egg and olive oil to the mixture.

Mix everything together, using hands for a more hands-on approach.

If the dough is sticky, add a little bit of flour to help with consistency.

Scrape excess dough from the bowl and incorporate it into the main dough.

Cover the dough and let it rise for 30 minutes.

After 20 minutes, knead the dough and separate it into oval shapes.

Place the shaped dough on a greased tray to rise again.

Cover the shaped dough and let it rise for another 20 minutes.

Heat oil in a pan for frying.

Gently place the dough into the hot oil, ensuring it rises as it cooks.

Fry until golden brown, flipping to cook both sides evenly.

Remove the fried dough from the oil and place on a paper towel to drain excess grease.

Open the fried dough and fill with harissa, potatoes, tuna, hard-boiled eggs, and olives.
