Mix all the ingredients in a bowl, and cover with
a dish towel. Let this sit in a warm place for 30
minutes.
Remove enough dough to make the size of bread that
you wish. Place this dough on a floured surface,
and roll out to the desired thickness (about 1/4
inch or less). Make a cut through the middle of
the rolled out dough if you wish, as this will make
sure that the bread does not curl during frying.
Add the cooking oil to a skillet wide enough to
hold one or more of your bread dough pieces. This
is deep frying, so add 1 or 2 inches of oil. Heat
the oil to about 325 degrees. Gently add the dough
to the hot oil, and fry until the bread floats and
the edges turn a light golden in color. Flip the
bread over, and continue cooking until the other
side is also done.
Remove the bread and place on a paper towel or
drying rack to let the excess oil drain off. Serve
warm.
NOTE: You can leave out the baking soda and salt
if you use self-rising flour, instead of regular
all-purpose flour.
