Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon seasoning salt or table salt
- 1 cup hot tap water
- Vegetable oil (to fry)
Directions
- Mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and water together in a bowl to make a dough.
- Grease your hands with the vegetable oil in order to shape the dough into a ball. After that, leave the dough in the bowl and cover it with a towel and set in warm place for about 20 minutes. The longer you leave the dough the fluffier the bread will be.
- When ready to make the bread, heat the vegetable oil to about 375°F. Make sure the oil is at least 1 inch deep in your frying pan. Put a small ball of dough in the grease as a test. If the oil is hot enough, the ball should float on the grease. If it sits on the bottom, the oil isn't hot enough.
- When your oil is ready, take a ball of dough about the size of a golf ball and stretch it out in your greased hands. Keep stretching it out until the dough is flattened out to about the size of a large cookie.
- Poke a tiny hole in the center of the dough with your finger. Next, carefully lay it in the hot oil. Let your dough brown to a golden brown color before turning it over and frying the other side.
- After cooking the frybread, drain it on paper towels. It's best to serve it as soon as you can.
