As far as I know this is the original recipe for Navajo Bread. It's is great with honey and butter. The Navajo put chiles, cheese, onion, lettuce and beans on it, and call them Nava Tacos.

AUTHENTIC NAVAJO INDIAN FRY BREAD (TACO BREAD)

Authentic Navajo Indian Fry Bread (Taco Bread) image

Step by easy step recipe for a Native American all-purpose flat bread dating back to the nineteenth century. Fry bread is considered a food of inter-tribal unity and is made at all Indian pow wows. It has a crispy outside and a chewy inside. Serve with butter & honey, powdered sugar, or cinnamon & sugar. Or add 'taco' ingredients to the top to make an Indian taco bread salad. You can also fill these with anything then fold them up to eat. Or simply serve plain with soup, stew, etc. *EDITED TO ADD: This is an old recipe and I know many of us no longer use so much salt - if that's the case for you then I suggest REDUCING THE SALT BY HALF.

Ingredients

2 cups oil (for frying)
4 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons baking powder
2 tablespoons salt
2 1/2 cups warm milk (more or less)

Steps:

In a heavy large frying pan heat the oil to 365 degrees; Oil is hot enough if a small test piece of dough dropped in the oil begins cooking almost immediately and rises to the top.
Mix together dry ingredients in a large bowl; *see note about salt.
Gradually add warm milk and mix to make a soft dough.
When the dough has pulled together, cover and let sit in a warm place for 10 to 15 minutes.
Break off a golf ball sized piece of dough and pat it out flat in your hand, no thicker than 1/4 inch.
Place 2 or 3 flats at a time into the hot oil and when they begin to bubble flip them over and fry until they're a nice light golden brown.
Remove and drain on paper towels then serve hot (keep them covered in a bowl until you're done frying).
You can make larger flats; just make sure they're no thicker than 1/4" and fry one at a time.
