What you need
Steps
Mix 2 cups all-purpose flour and about 3/4 cup warm water in a large bowl. Stir until a shaggy dough forms, adding water one spoonful at a time if it looks dry.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 3 to 5 minutes. Stop when it feels smooth and soft, not sticky.
Cover the dough with a clean towel and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes. This relaxes the gluten so it rolls out without springing back.
Pour about 1 inch of oil into a heavy skillet and heat it to 350°F to 375°F. Drop in a small pinch of dough to check that it sizzles.
Divide the dough into 6 to 8 equal balls. Roll each ball on a floured surface into a thin round about 1/8 inch thick.
Fry one round at a time for 1 to 2 minutes per side. Turn it when the edges look set and the bottom is golden brown.
Lift the bread out with tongs and drain it on paper towels. Serve warm, or stack the pieces under a towel to keep them soft.
Tips and common mistakes
Keep the oil at 350°F to 375°F. Cooler oil makes greasy bread, and hotter oil browns the outside before the inside cooks.
Roll the dough thin and even. Thick pieces stay doughy in the middle.
Fry only one or two pieces at a time so the oil temperature does not drop.
Hot oil can spit. Keep your face back, use tongs, and never leave the pan unattended.
Questions
Why did my fried bread turn out tough?
The dough was probably kneaded too long or too dry. Knead just until smooth and add water a spoonful at a time.
Can I use self-rising flour?
Yes. Self-rising flour plus water still gives you two ingredients, and the bread will puff a little more.
How do I know the oil is hot enough?
A small piece of dough should sizzle and rise to the surface within a few seconds. Use a thermometer and aim for 350°F to 375°F.
