Instructions

1. 1 Mix flour, salt, and warm water into a soft smooth dough then knead for five minutes and rest covered for twenty minutes.
2. 2 Divide dough into four pieces and roll each into a very thin rectangle on a floured surface.
3. 3 Brush each rectangle generously with melted butter then roll up tightly into a long cylinder and coil into a spiral disc.
4. 4 Flatten each coiled disc gently with a rolling pin to about one centimeter thick preserving the layered internal structure.
5. 5 Fry in a generous amount of hot sunflower oil for three minutes per side until deep golden brown and crispy.
6. 6 Drain briefly on paper towels then serve hot, tearing the bread apart to reveal the flaky buttery layers inside.
