Add about 3.5 cups of flour, 1/2 teacup of liquid oil, 1 egg, and 1 teaspoon of salt to the mixture and stir until combined.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 5-7 minutes.

Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Punch down the dough and divide it into small balls.

Flatten each ball slightly and let them rest for 15 minutes.

Heat plenty of oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until hot.

Fry the dough pieces in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove the fried bread and drain on paper towels.
