Navajo Fry Bread Taco Recipe

Step 1

Place flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Add milk and stir until dough begins to ball up. On a lightly floured surface knead dough. Do not over-work the dough. After working dough, place in a bowl and chill for 30 minutes.

Step 2

Heat oil to 350 degrees in a deep frying pan or kettle. You'll need at least one inch of oil in the bottom of the pan.

Step 3

Divide the chilled dough into four equal portions. Lightly flour surface. Pat and roll out baseball size pieces of dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Poke a hole in the middle of each disc with your finger or knife (so dough will fry flat). Place dough disc in oil and cook until golden brown, flip over and cook opposite side until golden brown. Dough is done in about 3 minutes depending on oil temperature and thickness of dough.

Step 4

Place fry bread on paper towel lined plate. After fry bread is done top with favorite topping or make Navajo Tacos.
