Once you have a smooth dough, cover the bowl with a warm towel and allow it to rest for 20 minutes.

Once dough has rested, cut it into ¼” balls and flatten them between the palms of your hands. Set the balls aside on parchment paper.

Heat coconut oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.

Once oil has reached 300°F, add the flattened breads and cook until puffy and golden. Place on a clean paper towel to soak up excess oils.
