Set out a stand mixer. Place the flour, lard, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon, and salt in the bowl. Pour the warm milk over the lard. Then beat on medium until very smooth. If the dough doesn’t quite come together add another small splash of milk and beat again.

Wrap the dough in plastic and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.

Meanwhile, set a large 6-8 quart sauce pot over medium heat. Add the oil to the pot. Attach a frying thermometer to the side of the pot, making sure the tip is down in the oil. Bring the temperature to 375 degrees F. Set a holding plate on the side lined with paper towels.

Once the dough has had time to rest, sprinkle a clean work surface with extra flour. Roll the dough ball out into a large rectangle, 1/8 -1 /4 inch thick. Using a pizza cutter to cut the dough into 3 inch squares.

Working in batches, carefully drop 3-5 squares in the hot oil. Let them rise to the surface of the oil, then use tongs to flip them over. Fry for 1-2 minutes per side until light golden brown. (They will look darker out of the oil.)

Move to a hold plate. Repeat with the remaining sopapillas.

Delicious Homemade Fry Bread – Aka “Navajo Tacos” Or “Indian Bread” – One Of The Best Recipes You’ll Ever Try! Pillows Of Dough Fried Until It’s A Little Crispy On The Outside, But Soft On The Inside. Make It Sweet Or Savory!

Fry Bread

Fry Bread is a beloved tradition in the United States. Serve it up savory as Navajo Tacos or go the sweet side and serve it up with a little honey butter and powdered sugar.

Indian Fry Bread

flour

vegetable oil

In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add in the water, mixing with a spoon or your hands until combined. It will be sticky.

Drizzle 2-3 tablespoons of oil over the dough to keep it from drying out. Cover and let rest 2 hours. This is not a risen dough so the dough will not rise, but it does need to rest.

Pull off golf ball sized pieces of dough and stretch or roll out until very thin, without ripping it. The thinner the better.

Pour enough vegetable oil into a pot to cover it with 2 inches of oil. Heat to 350 degrees F.

Working one at a time, fry the dough in the hot oil until golden brown, flipping halfway through. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain.

Navajo Tacos - A simple yet delicious recipe for homemade fry bread topped with juicy flank steak, cheese, tomatoes, and green onions. A delicious twist on the classic taco, fun  to enjoy with your family!

Navajo Tacos

water

olive oil

yeast

flank steak

taco sauce

salt (or

pepper (or

cumin

chili powder

garlic powder

Mozzarella cheese

green onions

cilantro

vegetable oil (for frying bread)

To make the steak mix all the spices together, excluding the taco sauce, and rub over the flank steak on both sides. Grill the steak to your preference, I grilled mine to medium rare. After it's grilled, cover it with aluminum foil and let it rest for about 10 minutes, during which time you can make the dough.

Pour the yeast over the warm water in a small bowl.

In the bowl of your mixer, add the flour and salt and mix. Add the olive oil and using the dough hook, mix for about a min.

Add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture and mix until well incorporated. You can probably get about 6 to 8 tacos out of this dough, so if you're not going to fry all of them, you can freeze half. Cut the dough into about 6 or 8 equal pieces, depending on how big you want each taco and roll each piece with a rolling pin so that it's about 1/4 of an inch in thickness.

In a large frying pan heat enough vegetable oil so that it's 1/2 inch deep. Fry 1 or 2 of the rolled out dough pieces, depending on how big your frying pan is. Fry until golden on both sides. When done place over paper towels.

While the dough is frying, cut the steak into thin slices. Place steak into a bowl and pour taco sauce over and toss so that each piece is fully coated. If you need more sauce, feel free to add more.

To serve, top each piece of fried bread with steak, freshly shredded mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, green onions and cilantro.

Authentic Indian Fry Bread Recipe is a classic Navajo recipe of dough deep fried until golden brown and covered in savory or sweet toppings to enjoy!

Authentic Fry Bread

Vegetable oil

Honey & powdered sugar

Cinnamon & sugar

Bean & Cheese

Taco - beans (cheese, lettuce, tomato, olives & sour cream)

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking powder.  Mix until combined.

Slowly add in hot water and continuously mix with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together.  It will be quite sticky.

Cover the dough and let it sit for 60 minutes.

Once dough is done sitting, divide it into 12 even pieces and stretch each out until it is very thin.  Make sure to avoid letting the dough rip.  It is okay if the dough isn't perfectly shaped.

Add enough oil to either a deep fryer or a large pot to be at least 3 inches deep.  Bring the oil up to medium-high heat.

Place one piece of the dough into the hot oil at a time and leave it until it is golden brown on the bottom before flipping.  Once both sides of the dough are completely cooked, drain off excess oil and then transfer to a plate lined with paper towel.  Repeat with each of the pieces of dough.

Navajo Fry Bread

Deliciously crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside, Navajo Tacos made with Indian Fry Bread are topped with a meaty mixture of taco seasoned ground beef and beans, then all the fixings like sour cream, shredded lettuce, cheddar cheese, and tomatoes!

Navajo Tacos (Indian Fry Bread)

oil (for frying)

Tablespoon oil

onion

beef

black pepper

red pepper

chipotle chili powder

Shredded cheese

Shredded lettuce

black olives

Slice avocado

Pico de gallo

Cilantro

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the warm water and mix using a fork until a dough forms.  Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes, then transfer to a clean bowl and cover tightly in plastic wrap.  Let the dough rest for 10 minutes. 

Divide the dough into 8 equal sections by pinching off golf-ball sized balls of dough, then pat and roll out the dough balls into roughly 6-inch discs on a lightly floured surface.  Keep them covered with plastic wrap while you prepare to fry them.

Heat 3 cups of oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes until the oil temperature reaches between 350 and 360 degrees F.  Working in batches, fry each disc in the hot oil until the dough is golden brown on one side, then carefully flip with tongs and fry on the other side. Set on a paper towel to drain oil and stick in a warm oven to stay hot while the other fry bread is cooked.

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat, then add the onions and cook for 2-3 minutes, just until they begin to soften.  Add the meat and brown with the onions.

When the meat is no longer pink, add all of the spices, kidney beans, tomatoes, and chilies, and decrease the heat to medium-low.  Stir everything together, then cover and simmer for 10 minutes, then use to top Indian fry bread for Navajo tacos.

Add any toppings you like to the base of fry bread and taco mixture, piling it high.

Yeah, that&#039;s right...bread made with potatoes. Historically speaking, potatoes probably made their way into Hungarian breads like langos as a fill-in for wheat when there wasn’t a lot of wheat around, such as during wartime and famine.In addition to being just plain delicious, potatoes serve a function other than flavor: Adding potatoes, or even potato flour or freeze-dried flakes, can also make a bread stay soft longer. This recipe first appeared in Season 2 of Good Eats: The Return.

Hungarian Potato Langos

russet potatoes

all-purpose flour,

whole milk

instant yeast

Peel the potatoes and cut into 1-inch cubes. Measure out 580 grams (1 1/4 pounds)Save any remaining potatoes for another use. of the peeled and cubed pieces and transfer to a medium saucepan. Cover the potatoes with 1 inch of water and place over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until soft, 10 to 12 minutes.

While the potatoes are boiling, deposit the flour, milk, 1 tablespoon of the oil, yeast, salt, and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Don’t worry about turning on the mixer yet. (This recipe works best using a large, professional-series mixer. If using a smaller mixer, keep a hand on it while kneading to prevent the mixer from walking off the counter.)

Drain the potatoes very well, then return them to the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring and breaking up large pieces, until the potatoes are dry and crumbly, about 3 minutes.

Transfer the potatoes to the stand mixer bowl and mix on low speed until the dough begins to come together, about 30 seconds. Swap out the paddle for the dough hook and knead on medium speed until somewhat smooth, about 4 minutes. Inspect the dough. If it’s very sticky, tearing, and smearing around the bottom of the bowl, add 1 tablespoon of flour and mix on low speed until the dough no longer sticks to the bowl. Keep checking the dough; you may have to add up to 4 tablespoons of flour depending on the moisture level of the potatoes. Return to medium speed and continue kneading until the dough is smooth, another 3 minutes. Transfer to a lightly floured counter and knead by hand for a final minute. If the dough sticks heavily to your hands, work in a bit more flour. The dough should be soft but not overly tacky.

Shape dough into a ball and move to a tall 2- to 4-quart container or 8-cup liquid measuring cup. Add about 1 teaspoon of oil and rotate the dough in the oil to coat it evenly. Press down to flatten the top of the dough, then mark the dough height on the outside of the bowl with tape or a rubber band. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and leave to rise at room temperature until the dough has doubled in size, 20 to 40 minutes.

Once risen, punch down the dough to work out large gas bubbles. Transfer to a lightly floured counter and divide into eight 175- to 180-gram pieces. Form each into a smooth ball, then transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover with a towel and rest for 10 minutes.

When 5 minutes remain, heat 1 inch of the oil in a wide Dutch oven over medium-high heat to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with a wire rack.

One at a time, flatten each dough ball into a circle, then stretch or roll into an 8- to 10-inch disc. Cut three slits across the center of the disc to help prevent large bubbles from forming during cooking. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and top with a second sheet of parchment. Repeat with the remaining dough rounds.

When the oil is ready, fry the doughs, one at a time, until puffed and golden brown, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes per side. (Although a spider or slotted spoon can be used for flipping, I manage much better with wooden chopsticks.) Transfer the golden-brown beauties to the wire rack as they come out of the oil to drain. Keep an eye on the oil temperature and adjust the heat as needed to maintain 350°F. Continue to stretch out the remaining dough discs while frying.

Consume the breads warm, if possible. (When hot, I always toss one in a zip-top bag with some sugar and cinnamon … the best doughnut ever.) Leftovers freeze well: cool to room temperature, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and seal in a gallon-sized zip-top bag. Freeze for up to 6 months. Reheat straight from the freezer in a toaster oven or directly on the oven rack in a 425°F oven for 10 minutes.

Heat 1-inch of vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Heat to 360 degrees F°.

Divide rested dough into 8 equal pieces. Line a baking sheet with paper towels, set aside.

Working with floured hands and one piece of dough at a time (keep other pieces covered with plastic wrap), roll dough or pat dough out on a lightly floured surface into a 6-inch circle (for fry bread to cook more evenly you can make poke a small hole in the center of the dough which helps it not inflate excessively in the center).

Carefully add rolled out fry bread into hot oil, and cook until golden brown, then flip and cook opposite side until golden brown (this usually takes about 30 seconds per side though the second side tends to cook faster). Lift with tongs and let excess oil drain off back into pan.

Transfer to paper towel lined baking sheet to drain. Repeat process with remaining fry bread dough while monitoring oil temp to keep close to 360 degrees F°.
