In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups of the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm water and melted butter. Pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until a slightly sticky and elastic ball of dough forms. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, then with a towel. Let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, approximately 1 hour.
Punch down the risen dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in the remaining 1/4 cup of flour, if needed, to achieve a manageable consistency. Divide the dough into 10 equal balls. (Prep time: 10 minutes)
Heat the oil in a deep-fryer or a large cast iron skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (Prep time: 5 minutes)
On a lightly floured surface, roll each dough ball into an 8-inch round. (Prep time: 10 minutes)
Carefully place each round of dough into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove the fried bread to a baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining dough rounds. (Cook time: 20 minutes)
