Indian Fry Bread  YLenZie1




Ingredients



3 cups flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups warm water

Oil, for frying

Directions



Put flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Mix well, add warm water and stir until dough forms a ball. Cover the bowl with a dish towel and place in the refrigerator for a half hour.



Heat oil ( I use a iron skillet and about 1/2 inche of cooking oil) to 350 degrees in a frying pan. Put a little cooking oil on you hands and Pinch off a piece of dough, a little smaller then a tennis ball, pat out to about three to four inches across, poke holes in the dough about four or five will do. You will want the dough when patted out to be about ¼ thick,a little thicker is ok too. Place in the hot oil and cook until golden brown on both sides. When cooked place on a paper towel sprinkle with salt if desired. You can also sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.



I have also sprinkled garlic powder onto the cooked fry bread and served it with Italian foods.



You can also use the fry bread as an open face taco.
