Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon melted butter
• 1 teaspoon white sugar
• oil for frying
• 1 teaspoon dried mixed herbs
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.75 cup water
• 0.5 cup whole wheat flour

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Mix all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour in a bowl. Sprinkle salt on top. Add butter, sugar, garlic powder, and dried herbs. Mix together with your fingers. Pour water in gradually; continue to mix by hand until a soft dough is formed.

Step 2

Knead dough until smooth and elastic, about 7 minutes. Cover with a damp cloth; let rest for 30 minutes.

Step 3

Divide dough into 8 equal portions. Shape into smooth balls; lightly flatten. Dust with flour and roll into thin circles about 1/16-inch thick and 7 inches in diameter.

Step 4

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Fry each dough circle until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
