Recipes

2 cups all purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder preferably aluminum free

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon instant yeast

Pinch turmeric 1/4 tsp

2 teaspoons sugar

1 cup lukewarm water lukewarm, MINUS about 3 tbs

1 tablespoon vegetable oil for rubbing on dough

2 cups vegetable oil for frying

In a medium bowl, add flour, baking powder, salt, yeast, turmeric and sugar.

Add lukewarm water gradually and mix to form a very soft, slightlysticky dough. Do not over knead.

Rub the dough with oil, cover and set aside to rest 1 hour (minimum) or until doubled(max 6 hrs or overnight). The longer it rests, the softer the bara--6 hours is perfect, but if you are in a hurry, 1 hr can work.

Divide the dough into 16 balls. Cover and allow it to raise another hour or until doubled.
