FRY BREAD TACO

Category: Bread

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup milk powder
1 cup water + a bit more
4 cups oil for frying, or as needed

In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, milk powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir in water and mix until the dough comes together. Add more flour if necessary to be able to handle the dough. On a floured surface, knead the dough until smooth, at least 5 minutes. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.

Heat oil in a large, deep heavy skillet. Oil should be about 1 1/2 inches deep. Put a small piece of dough in the cold oil. The oil is ready to fry when the dough sizzles and becomes golden brown.

Break off 3/4 cup sized pieces of dough, and shape into round disc. Use a rolling pin, roll the dough to 1/4 inch in thickness.

Fry breads in the hot oil until golden on both sides, turning only once. Drain on paper towels.

Serve: top the fried bread with meatballs, lettuce and the condiments you like (sour cream, pickled chillies, guacamole etc.)
