Roti telur

Roti telur is made from a simple dough of flour, water, and salt that is kneaded until smooth and then left to rest for several hours. The dough is then rolled out into thin rounds and filled with a mixture of eggs, onions, and spices. The bread is then folded over and fried until it is golden brown and crispy on the outside, and soft and flaky on the inside.
