Put flour, baking powder and sugar in a bowl, add the water and start mixing with a fork, then add the salt and mix until you get a homogeneous batter.
Cover the bowl and let rise for about 2-3 hours (it will have to double in volume).
Take the batter back and add the chopped dried tomatoes, pitted olives and chopped anchovies.
Heat the oil in a saucepan and cook the batter by spoonfuls, turning them to brown them evenly, then drain them on absorbent kitchen paper.
Salento pettole are ready, serve immediately.
