I'm probably not going to be posting too many more bread recipes for a while since we're trying to cut back on carbs and the amount of bread we're eating, but I didn't want to leave out one of my favorite quick breads. We found this recipe several years ago; originally, it was printed in The Houston Chronicle.
3 c. flour
1 T. baking powder
1/2 t. salt
1 T. ground toasted cumin seed
freshly ground pepper, to taste
1 c. warm water
8 c. vegetable oil, for frying
Mix flour, baking powder. salt, pepper and cumin. Slowly add water until dough forms; it should be soft, but not sticky. Knead gently. Let rest 15 minutes. Heat oil to 375 degrees. Roll dough out 1/2" thick and pull off 3-inch square or round pieces. Drop into hot oil, a few at a time, and let cook until they float to the top. Remove with slotted spoon. Drain. Serve as a snack, with a salad or a meal.
(You can shallow fry these in a frying pan and they are still delicious!)
