1. Soak the bread in water and squeeze it dry.
2. Mix all the ingredients together and work together with your hands for about 5 minutes until it has a soft, dough-like consistency.
3. With wet hands, form the mixture into walnut sized balls then flatten them slightly.
4. Flour the keftedes twice, so as to get a good crust.
5. Heat the oil in a large frying pan until it sizzles.
6. Fry the keftedes for 5-6 minutes, do not overcrowd the pan.
7. Turn them once so they are crisp and brown.
