Native American Fry Bread

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon seasoning salt or table salt
• 1 cup steaming tap water
• vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

1. 1

   Mix ingredients together with a fork in a medium bowl. (will be sticky).

2. 2

   Liberally grease your hands with vegetable oil and shape dough into a ball. Leave dough in bowl and cover with a towel and set in warm place for atleast 20 minutes, but leaving longer makes the bread fluffier.

3. 3

   When you are ready to make the bread, heat vegetable oil, atleast 1 inch deep or deeper in a frying pan or electric skillet. (around 375 degrees) Test a small ball of dough in grease, it should float in grease, not sit on the bottom, if it doesn't immediately float, oil is not hot enough.

4. 4

   When oil is ready, grab a ball of dough a little bigger than a golf ball and stretch out in your greased hands until dough is flattened out about the size of a large cookie. Poke a small hole in the center of the dough with your fingers, and carefully lay in the hot oil.

5. 5

   Let dough brown to a golden brown before turning over and frying other side.

6. 6

   Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.
