Instructions

Activate the yeast by mixing warm water, yeast, and sugar; let sit until frothy (about 10 minutes).
In a bowl, combine gluten free flour blend and salt. Add yeast mixture, egg, coconut milk, and melted butter; mix to form a soft dough.
Cover and let rise in a warm place for 45-60 minutes.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about half an inch thick and cut into squares.
Heat oil to 350º F in a Dutch oven or skillet; fry squares for about 1.5 minutes per side until golden brown.
Drain on paper towels and dust with powdered sugar while warm.
