For a richer flavor, substitute melted butter for margarine. Ensure the oil temperature is consistent for even cooking. Do not overcrowd the pan, as this will lower the oil temperature and result in greasy bread. Adjust frying time based on the thickness of the dough rounds. For a sweeter bread, add an extra 1/4 cup of sugar to the dough. If you don't have time to let the dough rise, you can use rapid-rise yeast and reduce the rising time.
