Skillet Bread

By cnash

This is from The Art of American Indian Cooking by Y. Kimball & J. Anderson. It's quick and easy, and makes a good "camp" bread. I've made it both at home, and over a campfire. Cooking time is approximate as it will depend on your heat. This is especially true if cooking it over a campfire.

Ingredients

• 5 cups flour
• 2 tablespoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon melted butter or 1 tablespoon margarine
• 2 cups milk
• cooking oil, for frying bread

Preparation

Step 1

1 Sift 4 cups flour with baking powder and salt. 2 Combine milk and melted butter. 3 Place flour/baking powder mixture in large bowl and gradually add liquid ingredients, beating well. 4 When the mixture has been worked into a soft dough, lightly flour a board with part of the remaining flour. 5 Turn out dough onto board and knead lightly, working in remaining flour. 6 Divide dough into 3 parts and shape each into a round pone about 1/8 inch thick and a diameter to fit skillet. 7 Pour enough oil in skillet to measure about 1/4 inch deep. 8 Heat oil and brown each loaf quickly, one at a time until golden on both sides.
