1

Add all dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl.

2

Mix dry ingredients well using a whisk.

3

Gradually add lukewarm water to the dry ingredients, squeezing the dough to bring it together.

4

Continue adding water until no dry flour remains, resisting the urge to add more flour even if the dough is sticky.

5

Wash hands to make kneading easier, then knead the dough using knuckle presses and squeezing for about 5 minutes until soft.

6

Cover the dough with a damp paper towel to prevent it from drying out and let it rest for 30 minutes.

7

After resting, form the dough into a log shape and divide it into 6 portions.

8

Flatten each portion with your hand to create air pockets, then roll them between your palms to smooth them out.

9

Cover the shaped dough balls with a damp paper towel and let them rest for an additional 10 minutes.

10

Heat oil in a pan until very hot for frying.

11

Roll out each dough ball on a floured surface, flattening it first with fingers before using a rolling pin.

12

Fry the rolled dough in hot oil, flipping every 15 seconds until cooked for a total of 1 minute.

13

If the fry bake is not swelling, splash some oil on top to help it swell faster.

14

Remove the fry bake from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined bowl to absorb excess oil.
