Tips

Press the edges of the dough firmly closed before coating the buns. This helps keep the filling neatly inside during frying.

Lightly dust your work surface with flour if the dough feels sticky while rolling it out.

Check the oil temperature regularly while frying. If the oil is too hot, the outside will brown too quickly while the dough inside is still undercooked.

Fry the flatbread in small batches so the oil temperature doesn’t drop too much. This ensures extra crispiness

For extra flavor, you can use a slice of cheddar, mild mature cheese, or mozzarella as the filling.
