Fry Bread

1 package Yeast ¼ cup warm water

2 cups milk, scalded 2 tablespoons sugar

2 teaspoons salt 1 tablespoon shortening

5¾ to 6¼ cups flour

Soften yeast in warm water. Combine hot milk, sugar, salt and shortening. Cool to lukewarm. Stir in 2 cups of flour; beat well. Add the softened yeast; mix. Add enough of remaining flour to make moderately stiff dough. Turn out on a lightly floured surface; knead till smooth and satiny. Shape in a ball; place in lightly greased bowl, turning once to grease surface. Cover and let rise in a warm place till double. Punch down.

Shape dough into bun size pieces and put on a cookie sheet to let rise until double. After it doubles in size, roll out with a rolling pin and fry in hot oil.

Toppings: Chili meat, beans, lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, olives, green onion, and salsa. You can top with butter, honey or powdered sugar for a sweet treat.
