Making Traditional Navajo Fry Bread

[jodeeadney]

My husband is Cherokee and Choctaw. His sisters taught me how to make fry bread. I use 2 cups of flour mixed with a teaspoon salt and a teaspoon sugar. I get a cup of warm water in a measuring cup and put in one package of the quick rise yeast. When it is dissolved, I mix it with the flour and add a couple of tablespoons of oil. I add water or flour to get good dough consistency. I let sit for about 30 minutes and then I shape and fry in oil. They always turn out really good.

Those fry pans don't seem hot enough. The guy has to keep checking to see if the bread is cooked....Yea there are TOO many cooks in that kitchen.

It is so awesome that we haven't forgotten of our culture. Mexican also make this bread. Don't hate us for that we also have Indian blood in us. It's a darn shame that kids want to eat pizza and burgers nowadays.

[xxzombiexxpsychoxx]

@1015art Correction INDIANS are from INDIA, and Navajo's are not from INDIA. Were Native's or Native American. Jus for your FYI :D
