Instructions

  1. Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm water and let it stand for 5 minutes.
  2. Mix the flour and salt, then add the yeasted water and the olive oil.
  3. Knead for 8 minutes until you have a soft, smooth dough.
  4. Cover and let it rise for 45 minutes, until doubled in size.
  5. Divide the dough into pieces the size of your palm and flatten them into discs about 1 cm thick.
  6. Heat the frying oil to about 180 °C and drop in the discs for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until nicely golden.
  7. Drain them on kitchen paper and sprinkle with salt or oregano.
  8. Serve straight away, drizzled with honey or with fresh cheese.

Variations and tips

Sweet version. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon as soon as they come out of the oil.

Savoury version. Top them with crumbled feta and fresh tomatoes.
