Navajo Fry Bread
4 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons powdered milk 1 1/2 cup warm water 1-1 1/2 cup oil or shortening for frying Mix fry ingredients together in a bowl. Stir in the warm water, mix well then need for 5 minutes or until a soft dough is formed. Dough will be easier to shape if left for a half an hour under an inverted bowl. Pinch piece dough about the size of a lemon. Roll into a flat, thin circle, about 8 inch diameter. While you are rolling out the remaining dough, heat the oil in a heavy skillet. Fry circles one at a time in the hot oil. The dough will brown quickly and puff up. Turn and brown on the other side. Drain on paper towels, then place on a cookie sheet in a warm oven while the other circles are being fried. If needed add more oil as you fry. The thinner the dough is rolled out the crispier the bread will be. _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
