Ingredients

 * 12 cups of white flour.
 * 1 ½ of salt.
 * 1 ½ of instant yeast.
 * 3 tablespoons of sugar.
 * 6 ½ cups of warm water.
 * oil for frying.

recipe
Start with putting all of the flour in a large bowl, add salt, yeast and sugar to it and mix well with each other. Then add warm water to the mix little by little. Knead well for about 10 minutes until you have a smooth soft dough.

Cover the dough and put it in a warm place until it triples its own size. Then divide it into little dough balls and place them in a greased plate and leave them to rest again for 10 minutes.

after 10 minutes of leaving the dough to rest, a large amount of oil is placed in a pan on the stove to heat up. After greasing your hands and the surface you're working on with oil, start spreading the dough gently on the greased surface quickly with hands, and make sure to add oil to the surface when ever it is needed to spread the other balls. then place the dough in the pan with the already heated oil, and use a spoon to pour the oil on top of the dough while frying.

repeat the same steps above with the rest of the dough.

To prepare sfenz with eggs, hatch an egg in a dish, add a pinch of salt to it. spread a ball of dough on the oiled surface, then spread a small ball of dough in a smaller shape on the side. The dough ball is placed after rolling it in the hot oil, and the prepared egg is placed on top of it. Move the egg quickly with the spoon is then quickly cover it with the small ball of dough that has been prepared already, then pour the hot oil over it also with a spoon until it's well brown from the bottom then flip it and repeat.
