Gather a bowl and add 1.5 cups of Bluebird flour and 1 tablespoon of Clabber Girl baking powder.

Set aside an additional 1/2 cup of flour for dusting your hands later.

Mix the flour and baking powder together in the bowl.

Gradually add warm water to the flour mixture, pouring it in while mixing with your hands to achieve the right consistency.

Continue to add water little by little, mixing until the dough is soft and not sticky.

Once the dough is mixed, sprinkle a little flour on it to prevent sticking, and cover it with plastic wrap or saran wrap.

Prepare a pan with vegetable oil, heating it up for frying the bread.

Divide the dough into small portions and flatten each portion into a round shape, keeping extra flour on hand for dusting.

Carefully place the flattened dough into the hot oil, laying it away from you to avoid splatter.

Fry the dough until it turns golden brown on the edges, then flip it over using a fork.

Once both sides are golden brown, remove the frybread and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Keep the fried bread warm by covering it with another plate or cloth while you fry the remaining pieces.

Optionally, sprinkle powdered sugar on the fried bread before serving.
