   💡 Profesyonel İpuçları: Mix until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
3. 3

   Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

   Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

5. 5

   Heat about 2-3 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pan or pot over medium heat.

   Gently stretch small portions of the dough into thin, irregular shapes. Carefully place them into the hot oil.

   💡 Profesyonel İpuçları: Do not overcrowd the pan.
