Authentic Indian Taco Fry Bread
- Ready In:
- 1hr
- Ingredients:
- 10
- Serves:
-
12-15
ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 cups warm water (it's the perfect temperature when it's quite warm, but you can keep your little finger in the liquid)
- 3 compressed yeast cakes (equivalent to 6 3/4 t. of yeast)
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 1⁄2 cups margarine, melted
- 1 1⁄2 cups warm milk
- 3 eggs, beaten until foamy
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 12 cups flour (no more(no less)
- oil (for frying)
directions
- YEAST MIXTURE: Mix the first 3 ingredients and let rest for 10 minutes.
- BATTER MIXTURE: In a separate mixing bowl, combine the remaining ingredients except for the 12 cups of flour. Mix well.
- Add yeast mixture to batter.
- Add 12 cups of flour. Mix well. Dough does not have to be kneaded, but should be well-mixed and should rest for awhile. I've found that if you let it double in size, it's even softer and easier to work with.
- Form into small "pats," depending on the size you're looking for. Roll or stretch until thin (this dough really puffs up when fried). Fry until golden brown and cooked through.
- Top with your favorite toppings. We top with hamburger, refried beans, shredded lettuce, tomato, salsa, and sour cream. They're also WONDERFUL with honey butter.
- If you don't eat them all the first day, you can keep the dough in the fridge and fry it up in the next day or two. Enjoy!
