In a large bowl, combine flour, water, salt, and baking powder to create the dough.

Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.

Divide the dough into small balls, roughly the size of a golf ball.

Flatten each ball into a disc shape using your hands or a rolling pin.

Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat until hot.

Carefully place the flattened dough into the hot oil, frying until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove the fry bread from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Serve warm with toppings of your choice.
