Ingredients

6 cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 ½ tablespoons baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 (.25 ounce) package quick-rise yeast
2 cups warm water
oil for frying

Directions

Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the mixture.
Dissolve yeast in the warm water in a small bowl. Pour into the middle of the flour mixture. Mix together lightly and rapidly until dough is moist and soft. Allow dough to rise slightly, 15 to 20 minutes.
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Pinch off a 2-inch piece of dough with well-floured fingers. Stretch it into a round 5 to 6 inches in diameter, working in more flour if needed.
Deep-fry dough until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining dough.

Editor's Note:

We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. Amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and specific type of oil used.
