Indian Flatbread
This makes a quick side dish to feed the kids, a bread that
you can make without an oven, and a great trail bread. You
can double or triple the recipe depending on how big your
tribe is.
4 cups bread flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup dry milk solids
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 cups warm water
Enough vegetable oil to fill the frying pan to 1/2-inch
deep.
Mix the dry ingredients together. Form a depression in the
dry ingredients and slowly pour half the water in. Mix and
add the remaining water as needed to form a soft but not
sticky dough. Knead the dough lightly. Cut pieces from the
dough and form them into round discs about 1/4-inch thick.
Heat the oil until hot. When the oil is hot enough, a small
piece of the dough placed in the oil should brown quickly
but not burn. Slip the dough pieces into the hot oil, fry
them until brown on one side, and turn. When done, remove
them to paper towels. Serve them hot as a bread or with
syrup or honey as a side dish.
