INDIAN FRY BREAD
Many Native Americans have a recipe for Fry Bread. This one listed is not ours. We have perfected our own and we hold ingredients that make ours special. One of those is tinpsula. This is a food widely used by many Native Indian tribes, and was one of the primary foods used by the plains Indians. Although tinpsula makes our bread different, there is much more than that that goes into our processes of Fry Bread.

- Heat vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

- Cook and stir ground beef with 1 large minced onion in a skillet over medium heat until the meat is browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes.

INDIAN FRY BREAD (THE PIONEER WOMEN) RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Steps:
- Stir together flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Stir with fork as you pour in the milk, keep stirring for a bit to get it to come together as much as possible. Add enough water (about 1/4 to 1/2 cup) to get it to come together. Cover the bowl with a dish towel and let it sit for 45 minutes to rest. When ready to make the fry bread, heat about 1" to 2" Crisco in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Grab a plum-sized piece of dough and press it into a circle with your fingers; place it on a clean surface and begin pressing in the center and work your way out, stretching as you go. When the circle is 4" to 7", carefully drape it in the skillet. Allow it to fry on one side until golden brown, about 1 minute, then carefully flip it to the other side using tongs. Fry it for another 30 to 45 seconds. Remove fry bread to paper towel-lined plate and allow to drain while the other bread is fried. Serve warm!
Tips:
- Use a large bowl to mix the dough, as it will be quite sticky.
- If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it is no longer sticky.
- Be careful not to overwork the dough, as this will make it tough.
- Let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
- Roll the dough out to a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
- Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into desired shapes.
- Fry the frybread in hot oil until it is golden brown on both sides.
- Drain the frybread on paper towels before serving.
- Serve frybread with your favorite toppings, such as honey, butter, cinnamon sugar, or powdered sugar.
