Answer 2

This Native American bread is a specialty in the Southwest, especially in the Navajo and Hopi Nations. Fry bread is a thin round of dough puffed like a giant doughnut without a hole in the middle. It can be a complement to savory foods or it can serve as a sweet when drizzled with honey and powdered sugar. It's commonly enjoyed as "street food" at festivals and celebrations.

Ingredients and Preparation
* 2 cups flour
* 1 tablespoon baking powder
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 tablespoon oil (peanut oil is best)
* 3/4 cup warm water
* Peanut or other vegetable oil for frying

Preparation:
* Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl, then stir in the water and oil.
* Knead the dough lightly until it is smooth and elastic.
* Shape the dough into a ball, place it in a sealable plastic bag and refrigerate for about an hour.
* Form the chilled dough into 12 small balls and flatten them with your hands, then roll into circles about 4-5 inches in diameter. Let the circles rest for 5 minutes and roll them again, expanding to 7-8 inch circles, creating a fairly thin disk.
* Place the dough circles, one at a time, into a deep skillet in oil that is 375 degrees. Fry 1 minute on each side.
* Remove the fry bread from the oil with tongs and drain on a paper towel.

Mix dough according to directions or defrost bread dough. Shape into rounds and pull and flatten slightly to an oblong shape. Fry in hot oil until brown and puffy.
