Fry Bread

Ingredients:

– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 tbsp baking powder
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 1 cup warm water
– Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions:

1. **Prepare the Dough:**
– In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
– Gradually add the warm water while stirring, until the mixture forms a dough.
– Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
– Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.

2. **Shape the Dough:**
– Divide the dough into 8 equal portions.
– Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten it into a disc about 1/4 inch thick using your hands or a rolling pin.

3. **Fry the Bread:**
– Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
– Carefully place the dough discs into the hot oil, one at a time, and fry for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and puffed up.
– Use a slotted spoon to remove the fry bread from the oil and drain on paper towels.

4. **Serve:**
– Serve the fry bread warm, either plain or with your favorite toppings, such as honey, powdered sugar, or savory toppings like taco ingredients.
