In a large bowl, add 3 cups of all-purpose flour.

Add 1 teaspoon of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the flour.

Add 1 tablespoon of margarine and 1 tablespoon of vegetable shortening to the mixture.

Sprinkle in 3/4 teaspoon of instant yeast.

Mix the dry ingredients and fats together until crumbly.

Gradually add 1 and 1/4 cups of warm water to the mixture, kneading until a smooth dough forms.

If needed, add a little more water or a tablespoon of dry flour to achieve a smooth finish.

Cover the dough with cling wrap or a tea towel and let it rest for about 45 minutes to rise.

After 45 minutes, dust the dough with flour and divide it into smaller portions, shaping each into a ball smaller than a tennis ball.

Place the dough balls on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and cover with a tea towel, allowing them to rest for another 15 minutes.

Prepare a small glass container with about 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil for shaping the dough.

Heat about 1 and 1/2 cups of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Rub vegetable oil on your fingers and press each dough ball down to about 6 inches in diameter.

Carefully place the flattened dough into the hot oil and immediately flip it over.

Continue flipping the dough until it puffs up and turns golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Once golden brown, remove the fried bake from the oil and drain on paper towels.
