- 1 cup vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
- 1 cup unbleached flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon powdered milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup water
- Heat oil in a heavy skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Sift flour, baking powder, powdered milk, and salt together in a large bowl. Pour water over flour mixture and stir until a sticky dough forms. Form dough into a ball using floured hands.
- Fry the dough in the hot oil until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer fry bread to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
