NAVAJO FRY BREAD II

AUTHENTIC NAVAJO INDIAN FRY BREAD (TACO BREAD)
Step by easy step recipe for a Native American all-purpose flat bread dating back to the nineteenth century. Fry bread is considered a food of inter-tribal unity and is made at all Indian pow wows. It has a crispy outside and a chewy inside. Serve with butter & honey, powdered sugar, or cinnamon & sugar. Or add 'taco' ingredients to the top to make an Indian taco bread salad. You can also fill these with anything then fold them up to eat. Or simply serve plain with soup, stew, etc. *EDITED TO ADD: This is an old recipe and I know many of us no longer use so much salt - if that's the case for you then I suggest REDUCING THE SALT BY HALF.

FRY BREAD
Whilte taking a trip to the Grand Canyon, my family drove through the Navajo reservation and stopped at a little cafe for dinner. I complimented the young waiter on the delicious Indian fry bread and he gave me the recipe. It is very easy to make. -Mildred Stephenson, Hartselle, Alabama

NAVAJO FLATBREADS WITH SUMAC & HERBS
A cross between Indian naan and Mexican tortillas, these traditional Navajo flatbreads include a sumac spice & herb twist, perfect for sopping up pozole. We've created a tangy sumac and herb blend for these light and fluffy Navajo flatbreads, which are perfect for sopping up delicious broth and chunks of vegetable or beef from our New Mexican posole. The New Mexican inspired herbs included in the monthly box include Mexican oregano, sage, rosemary, and fennel plus a tangy, peppery twist of sumac spice, peppercorns and cinnamon. Apparently, in the old days, if a Navajo woman couldn't whip up a batch of fluffy flatbreads, her marriage chances were low. Luckily, these are super easy to make.

Steps:
- Mix flour, baking powder, salt, and 1/2 of RawSpiceBar's sumac spice & herbs together.
- Slowly pour in the olive oil, mixing while pouring. Add the warm water and mix again until the dough comes together into a ball.
- Knead dough continuously for 5-10 minutes. Add flour to coat as you go along and continuously fold the dough in half from either side; the dough will be firm and this is normal.
- Once kneaded, allow to rest for 10-15 minutes.
- Transfer the risen dough onto a floured surface. Punch to allow accumulated air to escape.
- Divide the dough into 10 pieces, forming each into a ball.
- sing the heels of your hands, flatten the balls from either side. Use your thumb and index finger to fully flatten and stretch the dough into a 6″ diameter.
- Turn the grill or cast iron pan, if you have one, to medium high heat. Brush with oil.
- Add the flatbreads a few at a time, allowing space between each. Leave for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and slightly puffy on either side.

NAVAJO FRYBREAD
This recipe is from my Great Grandmother, she grew up making it with her mother and grandmothers. It was adapted to powdered milk by her sometime long before my birth. This bread makes an EXCELLENT substitute for any bread item...taco shells, hamburger buns and more. Look up Navajo Tacos if you don't believe me. Special thanks to Cynthia Detterick-Pineda for typing this up and reminding me of what a wonderful treat it is. Am sure my GGMa is smiling that "I found my way back."

Steps:
- Sift together the flour, salt, powdered milk, and baking powder into a large bowl. Pour the water over the flour mixture all at once and stir the dough with a fork until it starts to form one big clump.
- Flour your hands well. Using your hands, begin to mix the dough, trying to get all the flour into the mixture to form a ball. You want to mix this well, but you do NOT want to knead it. Kneading it will make for a heavy Fry Bread when cooked. The inside of the dough ball should still be sticky after it is formed, while the outside will be well floured.
- Cut the dough into four (4) pieces. Using your floured hands, shape, stretch, pat, and form a disk of about 5 to 7 inches in diameter. Don't worry about it being round.
- In a deep heavy pot, heat the vegetable oil to about 350 degrees F. You can check if you oil is hot enough by either dropping a small piece of dough in the hot oil and seeing if it begins to fry, or by dipping the end of a wooden spoon in and seeing if that bubbles. Your oil should be about 1-inch deep in a large cast-iron skillet or other large heavy pot (I actually use a 2 inch deep frying pan)
- Take the formed dough and gently place it into the oil, being careful not to splatter the hot oil. Press down on the dough as it fries so the top is submersed into the hot oil. Fry until brown, and then flip to fry the other side. Each side will take approximately 3 to 4 minutes to cook. Place the cooked Fry Bread on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
