INDIAN FRY BREAD

By lbgtdep

Ingredients

• 4 cups flour
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 1 ½ tablespoons baking powder
• 1 ½ or more cups hot water
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 quart vegetable oil for frying

Preparation

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add in the water, mixing with a spoon or your hands until combined. It will be sticky.
Cover and let rest 2 hours. This is not a risen dough so the dough will not rise, but it does need to rest.
Drizzle olive oil over the dough. Pull off golf ball sized pieces of dough and stretch or roll out until very thin, without ripping it. The thinner the better.
Pour enough vegetable oil into a pot to cover it with 2 inches of oil. Heat to 350 degrees F.
Working one at a time, fry the dough in the hot oil until golden brown, flipping halfway through. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain.

Fried bread can be kept warm in the oven until there is enough to serve

When it comes to Navajo Tacos, traditional toppings include beans, meat, chopped lettuce, tomatoes, olives, shredded cheese, and sour cream. A lot of people use ground beef cooked up with a little taco seasoning. My favorite way to serve it up is with some shredded beef or shredded pork. It’s always awesome to add on some diced avocado.
