To make the fried bread, start by mixing the flour, salt, and yeast in a deep bowl. Gradually add the water and knead until the dough is smooth.
Cover the mixture with a towel and let it rest for 30-40 minutes.
Shape the dough into 6-8 small balls.
Sprinkle a little flour on a smooth surface and use a rolling pin to roll each ball into a thin sheet, approximately 20 cm in diameter.
Place 2 tablespoons of cheese in the center of each sheet.
Fold the sheet to enclose the filling, then gently press it with a rolling pin to reshape it into a circle, spreading the filling so that the fried bread is about 20 cm in diameter.
In a non-stick pan, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium to high heat.
Fry each separately for 3-4 minutes, until golden brown on both sides.
Place on absorbent paper and serve immediately.
