NAVAJO FRY BREAD - 1

 

INGREDIENTS:

 

4 cups all purpose flour

1 tablespoon double-acting baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups warm water

1 cup vegetable shortening

 

In a bowl whisk together the flour, the baking powder, and the salt, stir in

the water, and knead the mixture on a floured surface until it

forms a soft but not sticky dough. Let the dough stand, covered with a

kitchen towel, for 15 minutes. Pull off egg-size pieces of the dough

and pat and stretch them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Poke a hole with a

finger through the center of each round so that the breads will

fry evenly. In a large heavy skillet heat the shortening over moderately

high heat until it is hot but not smoking, in it fry the rounds, 1 at a

time, for 2 minutes on each side, or until they are golden, and transfer the

breads as they are fried to paper towels to drain.

 

Yield: 8 fry breads
