Basic Navajo Fry Bread image

I first made this on 06/04/02. Very tasty and easy to make. Fluffier and more bread-like than versions I've tried before. I like to add 1 more tbsp. of shortening and about 1/4 cup of white sugar. I like to use these when I make something for dinner that has a sauce like curry or something. Try different things like adding spices to the dough that's similar to your main dish. My family loves these!

Time 16m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/2 cups water
1 tablespoon shortening
oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Combine dry ingredients in a bowl.
  • Cut in the shortening until it resembles crumbs.
  • Slowly add water and mix thoroughly until you have a good dough.
  • Knead the dough for a few minutes.
  • Use flour when needed and break off pieces about the size of a golf ball.
  • You flatten these balls to about pancake size and fry in hot oil.
  • I don't remember the reason why but the Indians poke a hole in the center of the dough before frying.
  • When they are golden, drain on paper towels.
