Tips for Best Results
- Dip the bread in water for only 1–2 seconds to prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Squeeze out as much water as possible before rolling.
- Roll the bread tightly so the balls hold their shape while frying.
- Fry over medium heat for even cooking and maximum crispiness.
- Avoid overcrowding the pan; fry in batches.
- Toss the bread balls with seasoning immediately after frying while they are still hot.
- Use melted butter for richer flavor and better seasoning adhesion.
- Serve immediately for the crispiest texture.
