NAVAJO FRY BREAD 
4 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. powdered milk
1 1/2 c. warm water
1-1 1/2 c. oil or shortening for frying

Mix fry ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Stir in the warm water, mix well then knead for 5 minutes until a soft dough is formed. Dough will be easier to shape if allowed to rest for half an hour under an inverted bowl. Pinch off a piece of dough about the size of a lemon. Roll into a flat, thin circle, about 8 inch diameter.

While you are rolling out the remaining dough, heat the oil in a heavy skillet. Fry circles one at a time in the hot oil. The dough will brown quickly and puff up. Turn and brown on the other side. Drain on paper towels, then place on a cookie sheet in a warm oven while the other circles are being fried. If needed add more oil as you fry. The thinner the dough is rolled out the crispier the bread will be.
