Best Navajo Taco Fry Bread Recipes
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.

Steps:
- In a heavy large frying pan heat the oil to 365 degrees; Oil is hot enough if a small test piece of dough dropped in the oil begins cooking almost immediately and rises to the top.
- Mix together dry ingredients in a large bowl; *see note about salt.
- Gradually add warm milk and mix to make a soft dough.
- When the dough has pulled together, cover and let sit in a warm place for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Break off a golf ball sized piece of dough and pat it out flat in your hand, no thicker than 1/4 inch.
- Place 2 or 3 flats at a time into the hot oil and when they begin to bubble flip them over and fry until they're a nice light golden brown.
- Remove and drain on paper towels then serve hot (keep them covered in a bowl until you're done frying).
- You can make larger flats; just make sure they're no thicker than 1/4" and fry one at a time.

Steps:
- 1. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the water and stir to make a stiff, sticky dough. Let set for about 30 minutes.
- 2. Use a large knife to cut off pieces that will make about a 6-inch circle. This isn't a "rule," as you can make any size manageable or for your specific use. Heat your oil to frying temp. If needed, you can heat your oven so that the fried pieces can be kept warm while you work on the rest of the dough.
- 3. To fry the bread, carefully slide the dough into the oil. Watch to ensure they don't get too dark. Use tongs to flip each piece and cook the other side. Drain on paper towels. Seal uneaten bread and store in the fridge. They can be reheated in a microwave.
