Fried Bread I Call It Bannock Food

FRIED BREAD (I CALL IT BANNOCK)

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together and cover and let sit AT LEAST 1 hour if not longer, the longer is sits the fluffier it will be. When you mix it together there might be a little flour left and slightly sticky that is okay. This is the type of fried bread you will be picking up to shape.
• After it sits, heat up some oil for deep-fat frying, I use a deep-fryer at home too. You can use a skillet filled with about 1 inch of oil. Heat until 375 F, or a small piece bubbles and browns in a couple minutes. When ready to fry, oil your hands and counter top. Divide dough into 3-4 pieces, When you cup your hands together like you are holding something you don't want to get away that is the amount of dough you want. Then pat it out to just a little bigger then your whole hand and put into the oil. Fry on one side until nice and golden brown, it can be a couple minutes to 5 minutes depending on what you are using, a frying pan will take less time and a deep fryer will take longer but is more safe way of frying. When golden using tongs flip over and fry on the other side until nice and golden.
• Take out and drain on paper towel, and eat with butter and jam, serve as a side bread, or top with chili, cheese, lettuce and tomato for Indian Tacos.
• I use oil to shape because it helps the dough not to stick to your hands and it keeps your oil cleaner because you won't have flour coming off the fried bread and falling to the bottom. At home I usually make it to serve with chili or soup, and the rare occasions we eat it for breakfast. We try not to eat it too often because we will get fat hahaha.

FRIED RYE BREAD WITH EGG

Steps:

• Soak the rye bread slices in vegetable oil about two minutes, and then embrocate bread with grated garlic and a bit of salt. Place the slices on a tray and fry in heated oven about 10 minutes.
• Cover the rye bread slices with mayonnaise and crushed hard boiled egg.
• Slice cucumber and tomato and place them on the top of bread. Season with pepper to taste.

FRIED BREAD AND EGGS

Steps:

• Soak bread in water.
• Try to squeeze as much water out as you can.
• Fry wet bread, diced onions, salt and pepper in olive oil until crumbly and brown. Keep turning it to avoid it burning. Use medium heat.
• Once it's crumbly, add the eggs. Stir until eggs are completely cooked.

FRIED BREAD

Steps:

• Mix flour and baking powder. Add water to make a soft dough. Pat dough out on a sheet of plastic wrap to about 1/2" thick.
• Heat up about 1/4" of oil or lard to medium heat in a cast iron or non stick pan.
• Cut dough into about 9 biscuits.
• Fry on one side until brown. Flip and cook about 2-3 minutes more. Test for doneness by flaking the side of a biscuit with a fork. If it seems dry inside it is done.
• Serve with butter and jam. Can also be napped with gravy and served with stewed hamburger and onions.
