Ingredients

• 240 grams all-purpose flour
• 5 grams instant yeast
• 10 grams granulated sugar
• 5 grams salt
• 160 milliliters warm water
• 15 milliliters olive oil
• 500 milliliters vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt. Mix well to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.

Step 2

Gradually add the warm water to the dry ingredients while mixing with a spoon or your hand. Stir until the mixture starts to come together into a dough.

Step 3

Add the olive oil to the dough and knead for about 5-7 minutes on a floured surface until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly-oiled bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it proof for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 5

After the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide it into small, marble-sized balls or roll it out thinly into small sheets, depending on the desired shape of the crisps.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium heat to approximately 180°C (350°F). Test the oil by dropping a small piece of dough into it—if it sizzles and rises to the surface, the oil is ready.

Step 7

Carefully drop a few pieces of dough into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden and crisp.

Step 8

Using a slotted spoon, remove the crisps from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Step 9

Allow the crisps to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them plain or with your favorite dipping sauce!
