If you check around on this site, there are a couple more fry bread recipes that I've seen. I have to agree, don't over-complicate this. Flour, baking powder, salt, water, that is all that is necessary for fry bread. Can deep-fry in lard or oil, but many prefer the lard. Some people add a little sugar, or use a can of evaporated milk, or even powdered milk... different versions can all be very good. Don't overwork the dough, or it will be tough! And be sure your oil is hot! One thing about the Indian taco recipe that seems to be missing, is using refried beans directly on the frybread, then adding the browned hamburger, and then lettuce, tomatoes, onions, grated cheese, salsa, or any combination of your choice. This is regular fare at any Native American event, at least here on the West Coast. Probably not so good for you, what with the deep-frying and all, but OH-SO-GOOD!

flour,baking powder,salt,water.. no measuring.. mix to doughy consistensy.. finger knead into a round disk till a hole forms in center and fry!! some people might add a little sugar.. but thats it.. I am from sw Oklahoma and Indian tacos are at all festivals, fairs, sporting events etc.. this recipe doesnt even season the meat.. chili powder in the meat is a must!! I like to salt/pepper and add CHILI powder to my meat.. then I also add ranch style beans to it after draining.. top with onion, lettuce, tomatoes(or salsa and sour cream.. this is Kiowa/Comanche style Indian Tacos.. (I do sometimes slather guacamole on the fry bread base but the fry bread doesnt need lard!!

The frybread we use as meskwaki's is made from salt baking powder and warm water. we don't use yeast or sugar or dry milk powder. We Fry it in Lard but we also make slits in the raw dough prior to fryingso it will cook evenly on the inside as the outside. We also use cast iron skillet over an open fire with iron grill, There are precise measurements for our frybread
