Quite popular in our Apache Tribe, I'm going to explain the process of how to make this wonderful, delicious ( yet fattening ) bread that makes your mouth water when you smell the smokey aroma from where ever it is being prepared. So hold on... here we go! :)
First things first is to get your ingredients of what you will be making for this fabulous dish. It works well with beans, so that would be a start. So for this, pinto beans works well with frybread. It can be boiled or slowcooked with bacon for one type of beans. Or for the chili lovers, there is Chili beans, that you add with hamburger, green peppers, onions and el pato. Both work well with frybread. :)
Clean and boil the beans, then add the bacon or hamburger with it as it boils. It takes 2 hours or 3...depending on the time. When the beans are done, now is for the bread, you get a mixing bowl, and get an estimate of 6 cups of flour. Next you add a handful of salt and a handful of baking powder and for fluffyness, get in a mixture of dry milk, add water, and that will be your mixture. A guesstamation of at least 1/2 gallon to mix the dough together.
Now I really don't know the measurements off hand, but that's a close guess, wouldn't you say? :) Then you mix the ingredients together and kneeding it into a dough. Then you make small rolls of dough, about the size of your palm and make as many as you can, depending on the amount of dough.
Next is to heat up a frying pan, with some vegetable oil or shortening. Depending on your choice, heat up until its nice and hot. Next is use a rolling pin and roll out the dough until it's flat, about 5 inches at the most, and immediately dip into the grease. It cooks very fast so make sure that you get both sides done then take to the side. Good, you made your first one. Smells delish, doesn't it?
Continue making until all the dough has been fried. Now, you are ready to enjoy a savoring delicious meal for the evening. :)
