  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup milk

  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until it is less sticky and forms a ball.
  4. Cut the dough into 4 equal pieces.
  5. Press down on each dough piece, then roll it into a disc about ½ inch thick.
  6. Poke the dough in the middle to create a hole.
  7. Heat the oil in a large pot to 350 F.
  8. Fry one piece of bread at a time for about 90 seconds per side or until puffy and light golden in color.
