Fried Bread (Pisi)

Steps

1. Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, dissolve the yeast in scant 1 cup lukewarm water. Make a well in the flour and add the yeast. Mix gently and knead for 5 minutes into a dough. Cover with a damp dish towel and rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. 
2. Divide the dough equally into 8 parts. Stretch the pieces of dough out to 6-inch discs and poke a hole in the middle of each disc with your finger. Cover with a damp dish towel and let rest for another 10 minutes.
3. In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat to 310 degrees F. Fry each bread in the hot oil for 4 minutes, turning continuously. Serve immediately.
