Clean a table to use for making the dough.

Pour 1 kilogram of flour onto the clean table, creating a mound.

Make a big hollow in the middle of the flour using a wooden spoon.

Add 1 teaspoon of salt beside the flour mound.

Add 2 tablespoons of sugar beside the flour mound.

If using, add 1 egg into the hollow in the flour.

Start making the dough by washing your hands first.

Dip your hands into warm water and mix it with the flour gradually.

Continue to mix the flour and water with your hands until a dough forms.

Once the dough is ready, pull it out onto the table.

Sprinkle a little flour on the table to prevent sticking.

Flatten the dough to a normal thickness, not too thin or thick.

Use a knife to make lines in the dough, creating sections.

Heat a pan on low heat and add a little oil to it.

Once the pan is hot (after about 2 minutes), place the dough pieces into the pan.

Fry each side for about 2 minutes until brown, then flip it over.

Once both sides are browned, remove the torta fritta from the pan.
