Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups warm water
  • 1/2 cup milk (optional for softer bread)
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add warm water and milk, if using, to form a soft dough. Knead gently for 3-5 minutes until smooth. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
  2. Shape and Fry: Divide the dough, shape into balls, and flatten into discs. Fry in hot oil until golden brown and puffed, about 2-3 minutes per side.
