Tender and fluffy Navajo fry bread! As far as I know, this is the original recipe for Navajo bread. It tastes great with honey and butter. The Navajo put chiles, cheese, onion, lettuce, and beans on them, and call them Nava tacos.

Ingredients

  • oil for frying: 2 cups
  • all-purpose flour: 4 cups
  • baking powder: 3 Tbsp
  • salt: 2 tsp
  • ½ cups warm milk: 2 piece

  1. Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  2. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl; mix in milk to form a soft dough. Divide dough into eighteen 2-inch diameter balls; flatten or roll each ball into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Make a small hole in the center of each round to help keep them flat while frying.

  3. Lower dough rounds, about 3 or 4 at a time, carefully into hot oil. Fry until rounds have bubbles on the surface and are golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining dough.
