Break off a ball of dough about golf ball size and pat out no thicker than 1/4 inch. {In some tribal traditions a hole is always made in the center which has spiritual significance}
Fry in deep hot oil to a light golden brown, turn once to brown both sides. {Oil is hot enough if a small test piece of dough dropped in the oil begins cooking almost immediately and rises to the top}. Drain bread well and pat with paper towel to remove excess oilk. Keep covered in a bowl while cooking to keep bread warm.
