NATIVE AMERICAN FRY BREAD
Raised in Arizona,I was brought up with this recipe and have made it for over forty years. It is a standard recipe for fry bread,and have always made it smaller for kids to handle easier. It is a bread used as a staple on all reservations, used mostly with lamb or beef piled on..DELICIOUS! Food Triva: Which N/A tribe puts a hole...

Steps:
- 1. 1. Place the dry ingredients into a bowl and mix well. Add water a little at a time, using your fingers to mix everything completely. Make into round balls about the size of an apricot. Stretch the ball of dough out to size you want without tearing the dough. You can roll it out round shape and 1/2" thick.
- 2. Heat cooking oil and place the stretched/rolled dough in. It will splatter so watch out. Takes about 1 minute to get a golden brown color, then flip it over and cook the same. Place on paper towel to drain.
- 3. Condiments: place refried beans on first, then meat of choice..ground beef, lamb...add cutup tomatoes, onions, lettuce if you want, top with grated cheddar cheese and a salsa...Very good.. The Hopi's will make a hole in the middle to turn the bread over while cooking with a stick..Navajo's do not.. TIP:Fry bread can be used to tear in pieces and use to dip in pinto beans, white beans, etc.

FRY BREAD WITH CORNMEAL AND COCONUT OIL
Ingenuity is behind Indigenous fry bread. When the United States government forcibly relocated Navajos (Diné) from ancestral lands in the 19th century, Native American women invented fry bread from government-issued commodities: flour, salt, yeast and water. Today, Native Americans have reclaimed this survival food as a tasty symbol of resilience. Cooks improvise on the basic formula using ingredients based on preference and geography: Styles, sizes and shapes differ by region, tribe and family. Fry bread is comfort food, and variations are shaped by memory and connection, leading to playful jests about the "right" kind. This particular recipe has Afro-Indigenous origins with its use of sugar and cornmeal, which add sweetness and density. But raw sugar replaces white sugar, and coconut oil steps in for lard. When used for frying, the oil's aroma announces the arrival of something special.

Steps:
- In a large pot, bring 2 cups water to a boil over medium-high. While whisking, add cornmeal to boiling water. Continue whisking slowly until smooth. Reduce heat to medium, add 1 1/2 cups cold water and cook, stirring continuously to prevent lumps, until thick, about 6 minutes. It should be the consistency of oatmeal. Remove from heat and let cool in pot.
- Add yeast, sugar and salt to the cooled cornmeal, along with 1 to 2 tablespoons of water to moisten the mixture. Gradually add flour, stirring with a metal whisk or potato masher to get rid of as many lumps as you can. Sprinkle with water as needed to keep dough moist but thick. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise for 3 hours.
- Once dough has risen, it should be springy and sticky. Heat 1 inch of coconut oil in a cast-iron skillet to about 350 degrees. Test the heat by dropping a small portion of dough into the oil. It should gently sizzle but not splatter. Use two large, oiled spoons to make golf-ball-size portions: Scoop the dough with one spoon and push the dough off into the hot oil with the other. Re-oil the spoons using the oil in the skillet as needed to make new balls of dough. Work in batches, leaving room in the skillet, as the balls will expand in the hot oil.
- Fry until bottoms are cooked to your desired color (light gold, golden or dark brown), about 3 minutes for golden. Using tongs, flip balls over to cook the other side to the same color, 1 to 3 minutes. Gently lift out of the oil, shaking off excess oil, and transfer to paper towel-lined plates to drain. Eat while hot.

Whilte taking a trip to the Grand Canyon, my family drove through the Navajo reservation and stopped at a little cafe for dinner. I complimented the young waiter on the delicious Indian fry bread and he gave me the recipe. It is very easy to make. -Mildred Stephenson, Hartselle, Alabama

NATIVE AMERICAN INDIAN FRY BREAD
There are a few variations of American Indian Fry Bread, according to the region, and some use yeast while others use baking powder. Some are rolled out and some are patted flat in the palms of the hands. This is a basic one that I use. It's very simple and easy to double, triple, or halve it. The rule is 1 tsp of baking powder to 1 cup of flour and a pinch of salt. Enough water to make a dough, knead it until its not sticky. You can let it rest or not. Divide into balls that will result in a flat round of about 4 inches. Flour the hands and then put a ball in the palm of one hand and press it with the palm of the other, and then reverse, till it is about 1/2 inch flat. Poking a little hole in the middle prevents it from puffing up too much. Then they are deep fried till golden brown, but I don't like to use a whole lot of oil so I use only about 3 inches deep; enough to cover the risen bread, but at least 3 of inches is necessary. Toppings can be such as confectioners' sugar, honey, butter, tomato sauce, jelly, or whatever suits your fancy. This recipe is a lot like Dissie's, and Dissie had hers up first. I changed the title from Native American Fry Bread to Native American Indian Fry Bread just because there are already a few with the former title, so to tell this one from those.

- Place dough on a floured surface and knead just till smooth and not sticky.
- Let it rest for 30 minutes , or go right to next step.

- Flour the hands and put a ball in the palm of one hand while pressing it flat with the palm of the other hand, then reverse having the dough in the other hand and pressing with the other hand, till it is about 1/2" thick.
- Poke a little hole in the middle with the tip of the little finger.
- Place the flattened dough into the hot oil and fry on one side until golden and then flip and fry the other side.
- Remove fried dough from the oil and place on a plate with a paper towel on it to absorb excess oil.
- Serve hot and let each person add their own topping.

Steps:
- Mix ingredients together with a fork in a medium bowl. (will be sticky).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Let dough brown to a golden brown before turning over and frying other side.
