• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/2 cup milk (or water)
• Vegetable oil for frying
• Powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:
2. • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and ground cloves.
   • Add the pumpkin puree and milk (or water) to the dry ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.
3. Knead and Rest:
4. • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
   • Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
5. Shape the Fry Bread:
6. • Divide the dough into 8-10 equal pieces.
   • Roll each piece into a ball and then flatten it into a disc about 1/4 inch thick.
7. Heat the Oil:
8. • In a large, deep skillet or pot, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
9. Fry the Bread:
10. • Carefully place the dough discs into the hot oil, a few at a time, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
    • Fry each piece for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and puffed.
    • Use a slotted spoon to remove the fry bread from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
11. Serve:
12. • Dust the warm fry bread with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar if desired.
    • Serve immediately and enjoy!
