My Shoshone childhood friend's mother makes these and they are a treat! Eating suggestions: Honey and butter, as a replacement for a tortilla in a taco, or shake warm bread in a bag of cinnamon sugar.
Ingredients:
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups water
vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions:
1. Mix flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
2. Gradually stir in water until dough is soft without sticking to bowl.
3. Knead dough on lightly floured surface for 5 minutes.
4. Return dough to bowl and cover with a clean towel.
5. Let dough rest for 30 minutes.
6. Shape dough into egg-size balls and roll on lightly floured surface to a thickness of 1/2 inch.
7. Pat from hand to hand as you would pizza dough until it is 8 to 12 inches in diameter.
8. Repeat with remaining dough balls.
9. Heat about 1 1/2 inches of oil into a large frying pan over medium heat.
10. Cook pieces, turning once until bread is golden brown.
11. Drain on paper towels.
12. Serve immediately.
