Polish Fry Bread
Ingredients
Instructions
- Scrub the potato clean, then boil it in the water.
- Remove the potato from the water to cool.
- Reserve the water.
- Peel the potato and discard the skin (or use for something else).
- In a small bowl, combine the yeast, milk, and sugar. Set it aside until it is bubbly.
- If the yeast mixture does not get bubbly, your yeast is dead. Get some fresh yeast, make sure your milk is not too warm, and try again.
- Now, mash the potato and measure out 1 cup. Use the remaining mashed potato elsewhere.
- Combine 4 c flour with the softened butter, then add the salt and 1 c mashed potato. Taste it and adjust the salt as needed.
- Add the eggs and bubbly yeast mixture.
- Using only as much potato water as needed, create a dough.
- Set the dough aside in a warm place, covered with a damp towel for maybe an hour and 1/2 , to rise until doubled in size.
- On a floured surface, roll out the dough until it is 1/2 in thick.
- Do not work the dough any more than necessary.
- Cut out 3 in circles.
- Set the circles aside to rise again.
- Heat the oil until very, very hot.
- Take the dough circles and stretch them out. Three inch circles should make about six inch breads.
- Fry the breads until they are golden, turning them to get both sides done.
- Dust the tops of the breads with garlic salt.
- Enjoy!
