Let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Shape the magwinya
Punch down the dough to release air.
Divide into equal portions and roll into smooth balls.
Second rise (optional but makes them fluffier)
Let shaped dough balls rest for about 15–20 minutes.
Fry
Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat.
Carefully drop the dough balls into hot oil.
Fry until golden brown, turning often so they cook evenly.
