Fry Bread: 
3 cups all-purpose flour 
1 tablespoon baking powder 
2 tablespoons dry milk powder 
2 teaspoons salt, plus more for seasoning after frying 
5 tablespoons cold vegetable shortening 
1 1/2 cups water 
2 cups canola oil, for frying 


Combine flour, baking powder, milk powder, and salt in a large bowl.
Cut the shortening in until the mixture is crumbly. Add the water 
and mix until the dough comes together. Place on a lightly floured 
surface and knead lightly until smooth. Cover with a dishcloth and 
let sit at room temperature for 1 hour. 

Heat the oil in a large high-sided saute pan until it reaches 350 degrees F. 

Divide the dough into 8 pieces and roll each piece out into a 4-inch 
circle. Fry the bread in the hot oil until golden brown on both 
sides. 

Remove to a sheet pan lined with paper towels and season with salt.
