Fry Bread
Ingredients
3 cups unbleached flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
(increase to 3 teaspoons at high elevation)
1 1/2 cups warm water or milk
1 tablespoon oil or shortening
Oil or shortening, for deep frying
In a mixin' bowl, combine all ingredients except oil and knead until smooth. Rub oil or shortening over dough. Cover and let sit for about 30 minutes. Either pat or roll out enough dough to fit in the palm of your hand in a circle about 1/8 inch thick, and deep-fry in hot oil or shortening. Usually the Fry Bread is a little larger than the size of your hand. Makes 10 to 12 Fry Breads.
