Native American Frybread

I have made this recipe a few times at college with the help of my Native American friends. Although Columbus Day is over, I believe that it is important to learn and honor Native American culture. I recently joined LUNA, a Native American organization on campus where I am the secretary. I've been learning so much about the culture and I wanted to share a recipe. 

Ingredients: 

• 3 cups of flour
• 1 tablespoon of baking powder
• ½ teaspoon of salt
• 1 ½ cups of warm water
• Oil for frying 

Directions: 

• Mix the flour, baking powder, salt and water.
• Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes.
• Let it rest for 1 hour in the refrigerator (covered) 
• Heat a pot of oil (1-2 inches of oil) and wait till the oil begins to simmer. 
• Tear off a chunk of dough and form it into a flat round circle. 
• Fry the bread until it browns on each side 
• Serve with powdered sugar, honey, burgers or as a taco!
