What is...

I use just about the same recipe except leaving out the hole. Then I use
them for tostadas.

INDIAN FRY BREAD

The Indians of the Southwest make baking powder breads that they fry in
hot fat, usually lard. The hole in the center, now traditional, was
originally made by impaling the bread on a stick to lift it out of the hot
fat. Begin 5 minutes ahead. 16 servings. 1 tbsp. baking powder 1 tsp. salt
1 c. water Salad oil
1. In medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder and salt. Add water;
stir until well mixed, adding a little more water, if needed.
2. Divide dough into 16 equal parts, roll into a ball. On floured
surfaces, roll each as thin as possible. Make hole in center of ball with
finger.
3. In 4 quart saucepan, heat 2 inches oil. Fry 1 piece at a time, about 30
seconds on each side until golden, turning once with a slotted spoon.
Drain on paper towels; serve. Yield: 16.

INDIAN FRY BREAD

Otherwise known (at least in the Canadian North) as "bannock".
And yes, it was borrowed from the Orkney Islanders hired by the
Hudson's Bay Company to man the fur trading posts.

Here in Phoenix there is a place whose specialty is Indian Fry Bread.
People I know rave about it. I tried it, but wasn't impressed. It seemed
rather flavorless and doughy.

I've had it in Minnesota and in New Mexico. The NM version was
different than the MN version (though oddly enough, not the
opposite...). In NM it was thinner and crisper. In both
places it seems to be popular in the "indian taco," which
is just what you'd imagine. The NM version was especially
good with lamb stew.

I also have a recipe from my great-great grandmother. It specifies
that half the flour must be "commodity" (the government-supplied
flour).

Good fry fry bread is tasty and not particularly doughy. Maybe
they had an off day, or maybe just because it's their specialty
doesn't mean it's very good.

Basic bannock is a quick bread.There just isn't much flavour at all
(beyond the wheat flour, and that would depend on the grain used)
unless you add things to it. If you fry it in game fat, it takes on
some flavour that way So, beef tallow as an equivalent? Bacon fat?
Can also be a sourdough.

That could very well be true.

Wayne,

What is the name of that restaurant and where is it located? My mom is a
fry bread nut and might be talked into a dinner run there.
