Step 1

In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt by hand

Step 2

Add in olive oil or vegetable oil and mix into dough until evenly combined (Tortillas and Biscuits Only)

Step 3

Add in 1 cup of warm water and mix dough until all of the dry ingredients are combined.

Step 4

You want your dough to be slightly tacky but not runny as you start to knead your bread. If more water is needed add in a splash more water.

Step 5

It’s important not to add too much or too little water. As a rule of thumb, it’s better to add more water than less.

Step 6

If your dough is too watery, add in more flour.

Step 7

If your dough is tough and dry. Depending on how much you have kneaded your dough, you may be able to add in more water. If not continue to knead your dough and let it sit for at least 10 minutes.

Step 8

Let your dough sit covered on the counter for at least 5 to 10 minutes

Step 9

If you are making tortillas then at this point you can warm up a skillet and form dough into round flat circles that are 1/4 inch thick and cook for at least 1 minute on each side.

Step 10

If you are making fry bread, heat a shallow pan on medium heat. Add in oil so that it fill the pan half way. You know oil is ready when test a small piece of the dough and it turn golden. PLEASE BE CAREFUL. I highly recommend using vegetable or canola oil. Fry on both sides, until golden brown.

Step 11

If you are making biscuits, preheat oven to 420 degrees. Form biscuits into flat shaped disks. Arrange onto a baking pan and let cook for 15 -20 minutes or until the tops of the biscuits are golden brown.
