Lightly grease a clean large bowl with olive oil. Place the kneaded dough in the oiled bowl, turning it once to coat all sides. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rise in a warm place for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down to release the air. Transfer it to a lightly floured surface and divide it into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a smooth ball, then flatten it with your hands into a disc. Use a rolling pin to further flatten each disc into thin, round shapes, about 4-5 inches in diameter.

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350-375°F. Carefully place 1-2 flattened dough discs into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. As they fry, use a spoon to pour hot oil over the top of the bakes to help them puff up. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until both sides are golden brown and puffed.
