FRY BREAD

Breads

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• 1/8 teaspoon salt

• 1/3 cup hot water

• Vegetable oil for deep-fat frying

Instructions

1. PREP:

2. Get out a cast iron fry pan.

3. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt and stir in the hot water to form a soft dough.

4. Cover and let stand for 30 minutes. It will still be warm to the touch.

5. Divide the dough in three, each piece to form a large, flat, pancake—quickly so as not to overwork the dough.

6. FRYING THE FRY BREAD:

7. Heat about an inch of vegetable oil to 375°

8. Lay pieces of dough in the skillet- they will immediately puff up a bit.

9. Turn them over as they turn golden brown—about 30 seconds—using a strainer meant for frying.

10. Remove them to drain on paper towels as soon as the other side became golden.
