How to Make Authentic Indian Taco Fry Bread

1. In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
2. Add the salt, baking powder, and flour to the yeast mixture. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Add more flour as needed to prevent sticking.
4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
5. Punch down the dough and divide it into 12-15 equal-sized balls.
6. On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a 6-inch circle.
7. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 375°F (190°C).
8. Carefully place 2-3 fry bread rounds into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
9. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
10. Remove the fry bread from the oil and place it on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
11. Serve immediately with your favorite taco toppings.
