Living in Arizona as a child I often had the chance to enjoy Navajo Fry Bread. Now that I live in Texas I wanted to give it a southern flair. This is a pretty easy recipe, the corn meal is not a must (replace with flour if desired) but the flavor goes great with okra.

Steps

1

Mix together all dry ingredients.
2

Add in 3/4 cup of water and stir until dough comes together and resembles bread dough adding more water if needed.
3

Careful not to overwork dough, fold in onion and okra. Then separate dough into 4-6 equal amounts.
4

Form each portion into a ball with floured hands. Then using a rolling pin roll each out to 1/4 inch thickness. Poke a small hole in the center of each round. (This will help the bread to stay flat while frying.)
5

Heat the oil in a skillet to 350°F. One at a time place the dough flat into the oil and fry on both sides until golden. Remove and place on a towel to cool and remove excess oil.
