Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm water

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add warm water to the flour mixture and knead until a soft dough forms.

- Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and shape each into a ball.
- Roll out each ball into a flat circle, about 1/4 inch thick.

- Fry each bread one at a time until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side.
