1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup warm water ( or more)
1 -2 cup shortening or 1 -2 cup cooking oil
Mix the flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Gradually stir in the water and work it in, adding more water a little at a time, if needed. Knead by hand until soft but not sticky. Form the dough into a round ball, cover and let stand for about 30 minutes. Shape into 2" balls. Heat shortening or cooking oil in a 1 1/2 " deep frying pan until hot. Flatten each ball of dough by patting and stretching into a pizza shape. Carefully place the dough into the hot oil. Fry until edges of the bread are golden and turn to cook the other side.
