All ingredients ready? Let's begin!
In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Stir all together to combine well.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the egg and butter.
Using the dough hook attachment, mix everything at low speed. Gradually add the water until the dough eventually comes together into a ball. Only use as much water as you need.
Lightly flour a flat work surface. Place the ball of dough on the surface and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Allow the dough to rest for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Divide the dough into 12 balls.
Add a good amount of oil to a skillet over medium-high heat. Allow this to come to a temperature of 350°F while you roll out your balls of dough.
On your floured work surface, roll out each ball of dough into 4 to 6 inch rounds, dusting with more flour as needed.
Start frying the flatbreads as soon as the oil reaches temperature while continuing to roll the others.
Fry about 2 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly puffed up. Drain on paper towels.
Serve the hojaldres with powdered sugar dusted on top or with savory meats and vegetables.
