- Let sit for 10 minutes.
- Add the ghee and yogurt and, using the dough hook, knead at medium speed for 2 minutes then add the salt and knead for 5 minutes or until obtaining a homogeneous dough that comes off the edges of the bowl. If necessary, add a little water.
- Place the dough on a floured work surface and knead for 5 minutes so that the dough becomes very smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough back in the stand mixer, grease it with oil and cover it with plastic wrap.
- Let it rise in a warm place, away from drafts, for 1 hour.
- Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and pack it down.
- Divide it into 10 equal dough pieces and form balls.
- Flatten each ball of dough, first with the palm of the hand, then with a rolling pin, to make a disc about 5 to 6 inches (12 to 14 cm) in diameter.
- In a deep pan, add about 1 inch (2 cm) of vegetable oil.
- Heat it to 350 F (170˚C).
- Add 1 disc of dough and fry it for about 1 minute to 1 minute 30, turning it halfway through cooking.
- Use a spider to remove it from the oil and drain it on paper towels.
- Repeat the operation until all the dough discs are used up.
- Keep the already baked breads in a hot turned off oven, while baking the other breads.
