Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.

Add water gradually, mixing until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 5 minutes.

Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Divide the dough into equal portions and shape each into a ball.

Flatten each ball into a disc about 1/4 inch thick.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until hot.

Carefully place each disc into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove the fry bread and drain on paper towels.

Serve warm with toppings like honey, powdered sugar, or savory options.
