| Directions: | Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil to about 350 degrees in a skillet or cast iron pan before you begin.
Sift together the flour, salt, powdered milk, and baking powder into a large bowl. Pour the water over the flour mixture all at once and stir the dough with a fork until it starts to form one big clump. This will be extremely sticky!
Flour your hands. Separate the dough into 4 pieces and roll in more flour. The inside of the dough ball should still be extremely sticky after it is formed, while the outside will be well floured.
Using your floured hands on a floured surface pat, roll or and form each piece into a disk of about 5 to 7 inches in diameter.
Take the formed dough and gently place it into the oil, being careful not to splatter the hot oil. Press down on the dough as it fries so the top is submersed into the hot oil. Fry until brown, and then flip to fry the other side. Each side will take about 3 to 4 minutes.
Makes 4 fry breads. You may keep this warm in a 200 degree oven for up to an hour, if making several batches.
