Place a generous spoonful (about 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons) of the prepared filling onto one half of a flattened bread slice, leaving a small border around the edges.
⏱️ 3 min

Lightly moisten the edges of the bread slice with a little water using your fingertip or a pastry brush. Carefully fold the bread over the filling to create a half-moon shape, ensuring the filling is fully enclosed.

Firmly seal the edges of the puff using the tines of a fork to create a crimped pattern. This will prevent the filling from leaking out during frying. Repeat steps 6-9 for the remaining bread slices and filling.

Heat 4 cups of vegetable oil in a deep pan or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches approximately 350°F (175°C). If you don't have a thermometer, test the oil by dropping a small piece of bread; it should sizzle immediately and turn golden in about 30 seconds.
