Frybread Recipe

	Dragonbear / All my dishes 1 year ago Frybread is the most versatile of breads -- you can top it with beans, meat, savory vegetables, dress it like a taco, dip it in chili, or drizzle it with REAL maple syrup or honey.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 half (tea)spoon salt

3 cups unbleached flour (I prefer whole wheat or graham)

2 cups buttermilk (may not need all of it)

Light oil, like canola, safflower or sunflower

Good heavy deep pan (I use the same cast iron skillet I use for cornbread)

Directions

Sift the flour; whisk in dry ingredients. Add the milk a little at a time -- you want a smooth dough you can handle, but not too sticky, and both elevation and humidity can affect how much milk you will need.

Do not overmix the dough -- it will make the frybread tough!

Drizzle a little oil over the dough and let it rest for a half hour.

Bring about and inch of oil to a slow boil in the skillet. Keep the oil hot -- quick frying makes crispy frybread.

Take a handful of dough (1/4-1/3 cup) and shape into a disk about the size of your palm. Holding the disk by the edge, turn the dough, gradually stretching it to a 5-6 inch diameter.

Ease it into the oil, and fry 2-3 minutes per side, until golden. Place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Wonderful hot or cold.

I LOVE fry bread, but have never used anything but white flour - I know I will be trying your recipe with the whole wheat or graham flour...sounds DELISH (I like mine with cinnamon sugar - messy, but so good when it's hot out of the pan!). Thanks for a great post!
