But last week, one of my dorm boys wanted to make Navajo fry bread (which is a different recipe than we use for the taco sales). The Navajo way of making fry bread (at least by his Grandma), is to use only flour, baking powder, salt, and water. He didn’t measure anything, but went by the “feel” of the dough.
As for the oil, peanut or vegetable oil works great but shortening, lard, or other types of oil may be used as well. Make sure you use an oil good for high heat cooking.

In a large microwaveable bowl, melt mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Stir will, then add egg and baking powder and stir again.
Directions. Sift flour, baking powder, powdered milk, and salt together in a large bowl. Pour water over flour mixture and stir until a sticky dough forms. Form dough into a ball using floured hands. Fry the dough in the hot oil until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer fry bread to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
