NAVAJO FRY BREAD:

Combine flour, baking powder, powdered milk, and salt in a large mixing bowl.

Add warm water gradually and mix with your hands until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Do not overwork the dough.

Divide dough into 4 equal portions and shape each into a ball. Let rest for 5 minutes.

Pat and stretch each dough ball into a thin, flat disk about 1/4 inch thick, working from the center outward. Make a small hole in the center if desired.

Heat oil in a deep skillet or cast-iron pan to 375°F (190°C).

Carefully slide one dough disk into the hot oil and fry for 1–2 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and puffy.

Flip and fry the other side for 1–2 minutes until golden brown.

Remove fry bread with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining dough portions.

Serve warm, plain or topped with honey, powdered sugar, or savory toppings such as beans, meat, and vegetables.
