Tonight I made Native American Fry Bread, experimenting with cold processed acorn flour that I made in the fall. The recipe I found for Native American Fry Bread called for salt, water, oil (for frying), baking powder (primitive purists could use wood ash as a leavening agent in the wild), and flour (I chose half wheat flour and half acorn flour, since acorn flour doesn't stick together well alone). Mixed it all together into a dough, and let it refrigerate in a bowl for half an hour. I rolled out the dough and cutout flat circles, then fried them in medium heat oil for about 3 minutes each, flipping once. Cut X's in the centers of the dough so they will fry flat. This is really tasty bread by itself! You could also add butter, honey, maple syrup, jam, etc. I will definitely be making this again sometime! I'll attach pictures when I can.
