Instructions: Mix together the flour, salt, sugar and baking powder in a large bowl. Then add the water to make a soft, pliable dough. Mix briefly with your hands or a spoon.

Dust a cutting board or kitchen surface with the extra flour.

Divide dough into 8 equal pieces and form into balls. Roll each in the flour so you can pick them up without the dough sticking to your hands.

Flatten the dough balls with your hand until they are about 6 inches across and 1/2 inch deep (they puff up a lot). Stab them with a fork in the center or dent them with your finger so they cook in the middle.

Let the dough rest for about 15 minutes while youre heating the oil (the longer you let the dough sit, the puffier the bread will be).

Into a cast-iron skillet over medium heat, pour enough corn oil so its deep enough to float the dough (at least 1 1/2 inches). Heat oil until it is hot but not smoking (360 degrees F). You might want to use 2 skillets so you can cook more at once. Fry each piece of dough until golden brown, turning once (total cooking time is 3 to 5 minutes). Repeat with all dough pieces. Drain fry bread on paper towels.
