Indian Fry Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups water
vegetable oil (for frying)

Preparation

Mix flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
Gradually stir in water until dough is soft without sticking to bowl.
Knead dough on lightly floured surface for 5 minutes.
Return dough to bowl and cover with a clean towel.
Let dough rest for 30 minutes.
Shape dough into egg-size balls and roll on lightly floured surface to a thickness of 1/2 inch.
Pat from hand to hand as you would pizza dough until it is 8 to 12 inches in diameter.
Repeat with remaining dough balls.
Heat about 1 1/2 inches of oil into a large frying pan over medium heat.
Cook pieces, turning once until bread is golden brown.
Drain on paper towels.
Serve immediately.
