In a stand mixer, combine 2 and 1/3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of instant dry yeast.

Mix everything together before adding the dough hook.

Turn the mixer on low and slowly add in 3/4 cup of lukewarm water.

Increase the mixer speed to medium and knead for about 5 minutes until the dough pulls away from the sides and is soft but not tacky.

If kneading by hand, it will take 10 to 15 minutes.

Turn the dough out onto a greased bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel.

Let it rise for about an hour until it doubles in size.

Punch the dough down to release gas and turn it onto a floured surface.

Knead for another minute more.

Cut the dough into about eight pieces.

Press each piece into a bowl filled with sesame seeds, covering both sides.

Roll the discs out to a quarter-inch thickness using a rolling pin.

Cover the rolled discs with a clean kitchen towel and let them rest for another twenty minutes.

Heat oil to about 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Carefully add the dough into the fryer, ensuring not to overcrowd.

Fry for about three to five minutes until golden brown, turning frequently to help them puff up.

Remove from oil with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels.
