Let the fire burn down to a manageable coal base.

Mix 1 cup of flour, some baking powder, salt, and cinnamon sugar in a plastic bag.

Add 3/4 cup of water gradually to the flour mixture, mixing until a dough forms.

Knead the dough inside the bag until it reaches a nice consistency, ensuring there are no dry flour spots.

Set the dough aside while preparing the cooking equipment.

Heat a small 8-inch cast iron skillet over the fire and add vegetable oil, ensuring it coats the sides.

Check the oil to see if it's hot enough by observing it bubbling.

Pinch the dough out of the bag and form it into a flat disc, making it thinner for quicker cooking.

Place the dough into the hot oil in the skillet and let it fry until golden brown on one side, checking for a crisp texture.

Flip the dough to cook the other side, pressing it down slightly to ensure even cooking.

Cook until both sides are golden brown and the bread is firm, then remove from the skillet.
