Navajo FryBread - Sheila Curleyhair

This authentic Navajo frybread  recipe came from a friend in the Mesa 14th Ward, Shiela Curleyhair. The ward RS had a women's retreat in Prescott at a cabin and Shiela made this for supper the night we were there. It was so yummy I asked her for the recipe and watched closely as she made them. Navajos definitely do NOT use yeast in their frybreads.

3 C flour

1 Tbsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

1/4 C powdered milk

1 1/2 C hot water

Mix first four ingredients in a mixing bowl or food processor with a dough blade. 

Slowly add and mix the hog water until the dough forms a ball. Knead until smooth. Put into a greased bowl to rest - 20 minutes. Pull off egg sized balls of dough and form into flattened circle. Fry in hot oil.

Makes about 12-14 smallish frybreads. 

We usually double it.
