I enjoy making fry breads, or flatbreads, as well as pancakes, so this recipe appeals to me too. I wasn't sure how much oil to use and so I was generous with it. I read the other two reviews and mine also came out kind of heavy, but I know some other recipes that are without leavening too and they are a bit heavier. It helps there to have the heat hot enough to cook them through before they absorb too much oil. I think next time I will also add a bit of baking powder to the mix, and probably not put as much liquid in the mixture, or oil in the pan. I like it enough to try it again. Thanks for sharing this recipe with us! [editted to add] I did make this again, with a few changes. I added 2 tsp of baking powder to the dry ingredients; I added the diced tomato before the water, so the liquid from the tomato would go in first and then I could adjust the water so the mixture would be a stiff batter instead of a creamy one. It came out great! I've added it to my fry bread repertoire and will be making it again and again. - I just made it again,, using a bit of rosemary, sage, tomato, egg,, green onion.. yumm. It is a flexible recipe. I could go on and on, but I'll stop now. hehehe1Reply

This was an interesting bread. I'd never tried anything quite like this before. I used fresh tomatoes and lots of green onion. I added chopped garlic and Italian Herbs. Made exactly as directed. It has a lovely flavor but the texture takes a little getting use too. I found the bread to be a little greasy, so I drained them on paper towel and sprinkled my coarse greek salt over it. Tasted wonderful, thanks for sharing....:)1Reply
