4 tsp baking powder 

1/2 tsp baking soda

2 cups cold water (approx.)

oil

Directions:

Thoroughly mix the baking powder and baking soda into the flour. Slowly add cold water to the center, mixing to form a soft dough. Let the dough sit, covered, for 15 minutes.

Divide the dough into four sections by cutting it in half twice. Shape each section gently with your hands as if forming a snow ball.

Pour 1/4-inch of oil in a large stock pat.Arrange the four rounds in the bottom of the pot next to each other. Cover it and turn the flame on low. After a few minutes, check to see if the bread has toasted on the bottom. 

Toss in 1/2 cup cold water and quickly cover to trap the steam. Be careful doing this.


Steam for an additional ten minutes. The water will evaporate and the breads should rise.
