Recipe Introduction


After you make these, you can make wonderful fold-over sandwiches using beans and/or ground meat...and don't forget the cheese, sour cream, chopped tomatoes, lettuce and salsa. Since I usually cook for one or two, I cut this recipe in half most of the time. This is the half batch.

List of Ingredients




5 cups flour
2 teaspoons salt
1-1/4 tablespoon baking powder
2 tablespoons oil or lard
milk as needed

Recipe



Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add the oil and work in thoroughly. Gradually add enough milk to make a silky dough with kneading. Knead with floured hands until the dough is springy and smooth.

Form dough into 2"-3" balls. Coat the balls with grease and let them rest in a closed container for 2-3 hours.

Roll the balls very thin and circular, like a tortilla. Slip the rolled-out dough into a skillet of hot oil or lard until lightly browned and portions puff up (will need to be turned carefully with tongs).

Remove and drain each piece of bread between layers of paper towels, stacked on top of each other. Cover the stack of fry bread & paper towels with a lid (like a cake plate cover) and leave them on the counter until ready to use. They will soften up enough to bend without breaking.
