In a bowl, combine 1 cup of whole wheat flour and 1 cup of white flour, whisking until thoroughly combined.

Add 2 teaspoons of yeast (or 1 packet) to the flour mixture.

Add 1.5 teaspoons of sugar and 3/4 teaspoon of salt to the mixture.

Pour in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 3/4 cup of warm water.

Mix with the back end of a wooden spoon until most of the flour is absorbed.

Add the remaining flour and continue mixing until combined.

Brush a bowl with oil and knead the dough in the bowl until it forms a soft, consistent ball.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning it over to coat the top with oil.

Cover the bowl with Saran Wrap and a towel, letting it sit in a warm spot for about 30 minutes until it almost doubles in size.

After 30 minutes, uncover the dough and turn it out onto a floured board.

Pat the dough down and cut it into 8-10 pieces.

Shape each piece into a disc for frying.

Heat a pan over medium heat and add oil for frying the dough.
