In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure the leavening agents are evenly distributed.

Slowly add the warm water to the flour mixture, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or your hands until a shaggy dough forms. May need more water.

Once the dough comes together, knead it on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Place the dough back in the mixing bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rest for 30 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.

After the dough has rested, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a heavy frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C).

While the oil is heating, divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it into a disk about ¼ inch thick.

Once the oil is hot, carefully add a piece of the flattened dough to the pan. Fry the bread for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until it is golden brown and puffed up.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried bread to a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess oil. Repeat the frying process with the remaining dough portions, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.

Serve the Fry Bread warm, either plain or with your favorite toppings such as honey, powdered sugar, or savory fillings. Enjoy the delightful crunch of the exterior paired with the soft, airy interior of this delicious fry bread!
