Makes: 6-8 large fry breads
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup wheat flour
1 cup cornmeal
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup water
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 cups peanut or vegetable oil for deep frying
Procedure:
In large mixing bowl, stir the flours, cornmeal, baking powder and salt. Add the water and milk and stir until a moist dough forms (if your dough is too soft, add more flour). On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough into a mound and return to bowl. Coat with a tablespoon of vegetable oil and cover the bowl with a damp cloth. Let sit for 15-30 minutes. Meanwhile, fill a deep fryer or soup pot with the oil (it should be at least 3" deep). Just before you roll out the dough, turn up the heat on the oil.Pinch off a tangerine-size ball of dough and roll it into a disc on a well-floured surface. It should be about 1/8 inch think (the thinner the dough, the crisper the fry bread bread). Place the round into the oil and fry for 2 minutes, watching carefully for the dough to turn a deep golden brown. Remove the bread with a spatula, drain, gently pat off the excess oil, and cool on a rack covered in paper towels. After the first round, adjust the temperature , thickness of the dough, frying time and repeat for the rest of the dough.
