Mix warm water with sugar and yeast; let sit for about 1 minute.

Add 1 egg and 3 teaspoons of olive oil to the mixture; stir well.

Gradually add half of the flour and mix until combined.

Add salt and the rest of the flour; continue mixing until a soft, sticky dough forms.

Cover the dough and let it rest for 45 minutes to rise.

Boil 2 cubed potatoes in seasoned water (with turmeric and coriander powder) until cooked.

After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out to the desired thickness.

Cut the dough into circles using a cup or cookie cutter; let them rise for another 10 minutes.

Deep-fry the dough in vegetable oil at medium-high heat until golden brown.

Prepare stuffing by mixing harissa with olive oil and water; add boiled eggs, potatoes, olives, cheese, and tuna as desired.
