Mix the warm water, yeast, and sugar and let it foam for 8 minutes.
Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl.
Add the yeasted water and knead a soft, slightly sticky dough.
Cover the dough and let it rise for 45 minutes.
Roll the dough out on a lightly floured counter and cut small squares.
Heat the oil over medium heat and fry the dough pieces until both sides are browned.
Transfer the pisi to paper towels and serve hot without waiting.
💡 Tip: Do not add the dough before the oil is hot enough, otherwise it absorbs oil and the pisi becomes heavy.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot, with optional olives, tomatoes, and jam to complete the table.
