Navajo Frybread
- 2 c. flour (Blue Bird is best and is not available locally...Utah; any brand of flour will do)
- 1 c. warm water
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- lard
- Preheat lard to 200u0b0 or until it starts to smoke (I use cooking oil).
- Mix all ingredients, except water, in medium size bowl.
- Add water and knead until dough forms a ball.
- Continue to add a little water, if necessary, to make a nice smooth texture, not sticky. (Let dough set at least 5 minutes.)
- Puff off a piece of dough a little larger than a walnut.
- Pat in hands to make it thin and flat.
- Place slowly into preheated oil.
- Turn when a bubble forms in the center or when the edges start to turn golden brown.
- Brown the other side, remove to a paper towel.
- You may eat the bread in the traditional Navajo way, by sprinkling with a little salt or spread with margarine and add cinnamon, sugar, honey, jam or powdered sugar; enjoy!
