Answer 2

It is called Fry Bread or Indian Bread.

3 cups self rising flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
water

In a bowl mix the flour and baking powder together. Then make a "well" in the flour mixture, start adding a little water at a time, working small amounts of the flour mixture in. Keep adding water and flour a little at a time. Don't use all the flour mixture up. Once you get it the dough like biscuit dough, you may want to use the extra flour so that the dough does not stick to your hands.
Get about the amount of half a biscuit and flatten it out to about a 1/4 thick or so and then place it in the hot oil. Fry on one side for about a minute or until the edge starts turning a little tan and flip over for a minute and take out, repeat time for the rest of your Fry Breads.

You can also buy a mix in the stores now that is called Indian Fry Bread, where you don't have to do anything but add water and mix. It is located in the cake, cookie mix section in most all grocery stores. It comes in a white package with I believe red writing.

Answer 3

If you mean "Fry Bread," here is one version that the Navajo use:


* 3 cups Flour
* 1 tsp. Salt
* 1 tbs. Baking Powder
* 1 1/2 cup water
* 1 tbs. Shortening (cut in)

Mix ingredients and let sit for 10-15 minutes.

Break off a ball of dough about golf ball size and pat out no thicker than 1/4 inch. (In some tribal traditions a hole is always made in the center which has spiritual significance)

Fry in deep hot oil to a light golden brown, turn once to brown both sides. (Oil is hot enough if a small test piece of dough dropped in the oil begins cooking almost immediately and rises to the top.) Drain bread well and pat with paper towel to remove excess oil. Keep covered in a bowl while cooking to keep bread warm.

Serving - Usually eaten like bread with soup, stew or posole

Variations - Eat with honey, powdered sugar, cinnamon.
