Navajo Old
Fry bread recipe?
When I was younger I had fry bread made by an old Navajo woman. I have several recipes now, but none quite the same. She did not use milk(dry or fresh). Can anyone help?
Version #1
2 cups Flour
1 tsp. Salt
3 tsp. Baking Powder
1 cup Water
Version #2
3 cups Flour
1 tsp. Salt
1 tbs. Baking Powder
1 1/2 cup water
1 tbs. Shortening (cut in)
Using the ingredients from either version above, mix ingredients and let sit for 10-15 minutes.
Break off a ball of dough about golf ball size and pat out no thicker than 1/4 inch. (In some tribal traditions a hole is always made in the center which has spiritual significance)
Fry in deep hot oil to a light golden brown, turn once to brown both sides. (Oil is hot enough if a small test piece of dough dropped in the oil begins cooking almost immediately and rises to the top.) Drain bread well and pat with paper towel to remove excess oil. Keep covered in a bowl while cooking to keep bread warm.
Serving - Usually eaten like bread with soup, stew or posole
Variations - Eat with honey, powdered sugar, cinnamon.
FRY BREAD
3 C. unbleached white flour
1 C. masa corn flour (not cornmeal)
3 T. sugar
1/2 t. salt
2 t. baking powder
1 C. warm water
Peanut oil or lard for deep-frying
You will need a wok or deep heavy pot for deep-frying, a medium-sized bowl and tongs.
Fill your wok or pan with 2 inches of peanut oil or lard and heat over medium to medium-high heat.
Meanwhile, combine the dry ingredients in a bowl. Make a well in the center and stir in the water. Mix to form a dough, and knead briefly. The dough should be soft but not sticky. Add a little more flour or water if necessary.
Cut the dough into 8 equal pieces. Flatten one piece to a thin disc about 5 inches in diameter and less than 1/4inch thick. Cut a 1-inch triangular wedge out of the center of the bread and test the oil temperature by dropping the wedge into the oil. The oil should sizzle quietly and the dough wedge should begin to change color. If it burns or sizzles fiercely, the temperature is too high; adjust it accordingly. Slide the bread into the oil (the oil will sizzle and bubble up through the hole in the middle) and cook until golden on the bottom, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Then turn over, taking care not to splash yourself with oil, and cook until golden, approximately 1 1/2to 2 1/2more minutes. As the bread cooks, shape the next one and cut a triangular hole in the center.
Place the cooked bread on a plate lined with paper towels to drain while you prepare and cook the remaining breads. Serve warm.
Makes 8 servings.
