Re: fry bread

I have been interested to read the thread on Navajo fry bread. It sounds
vitrually identical to the Maori bread I was introduced to in New Zealand
and that my Maori friends here are fond of making. In fact, my wife (not a
Maori, but from New Zealand) suggested we make it for lunch thoday, which
reminded me we actually have a written recipe for it. Pretty simple:

4 cups self raising flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
warm water

Mix together the flour and baking powder, add water and knead until the
dough is stiff and not too sticky. Shape into pieces about 4" round by
3/4"-1" thick. Fry in hot oil, turning when golden brown. Serve hot with
golden syrup, jam, honey etc.

I can see no significant difference from the description of Navajo bread, so
I guess one advantage is that if you wanted to have sessions about Native
American culture or learn about Polynesian islanders the same recipe can be
used for dual purpose.
