• Vegetables: You can choose all vegetables as topping for your dish.
• Cheese: If you are a cheese lover, you can skip other ingredients and top it with the cheese of your choice. Let the cheese melt in the oven for a minute or two and enjoy.

Bread Fry – The recipe

Preparation time: 5 minutes
Resting time: 2 hours
Cooking time: 5 minutes
Total time: 2 hours 10 minutes
Servings: 2 to 3

Ingredients:

• 5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ tbsp baking powder
• 1 ¾ cup hot water
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• A pinch turmeric
• ½ tsp cumin
• 1 tsp salt
• Vegetable oil for frying

Preparation:

1. Add all-purpose flour, baking powder, turmeric, cumin, and salt to a large-sized mixing bowl. Mix well.
2. Now slowly pour hot water into the flour and mix using either a wooden spoon or your hands.
3. Knead until you get a sticky dough. You can add more water to adjust the consistency of the dough. If the dough seems too sticky, add more flour.
4. Drizzle olive oil over the dough and spread it over the surface of the dough to prevent it from drying.
5. Cover the dough and place it in a cool, dry place for at least 2 hours to overnight until it rises.
6. Once the dough rises, divide it into equal-sized balls.
7. Roll it into a rectangular shape until it is very thin. Remember, the thinner the rolled dough, the better.
8. In a pan, heat oil. Once it heats up, add the rolled dough into the oil and fry it for at least a minute until it turns golden brown. Flip the side to cook it again.
9. Take it out of the pan onto a kitchen towel to get rid of excess oil.
10. Serve topped with your favorite toppings.
