bambam, I'm not exactly sure what your refering to but here's a recipe for Chippewa Indian Fried Bread. It's pretty good.

2 1/2 c All-purpose flour
1 1/2 tb Baking powder
1 t Salt
3/4 c Warm water
1 tb Vegetable oil
1 tb Nonfat dry milk powder
Vegetable oil (for deep-frying)
Cinnamon sugar

Combine flour, baking powder and salt in large bowl.
Combine water, oil and dry milk powder and stir into flour mixture until smooth dough forms.
Turn out onto lightly floured surface.
Knead 4 times into smooth ball.
Cover and let rest 10 minutes.

Divide dough into 8 balls. Flatten with fingertips or roll out each ball to form 8- to 10-inch round. Make small hole in center of each with finger or handle of wooden spoon. Lightly flour rounds, stack and cover with towel or plastic wrap.

Heat about 1 inch oil to 375 F in large skillet. Gently place 1 bread round in hot fat and cook until golden and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining dough. Serve bread hot or at room temperature, sprinkled with cinnamon sugar.

That stuff is possibly the best appetizer/after dinner snack ever! I like to dip it in honey, and yes, I'm from SD, born and raised.

Bambam, Call it fry bread and the South Dakotans will know what your talking about. You NYer's just talk funny so we don't understand

You can use regular frozen bread dough that has risen too. Just roll it in cinnimon and sugar when its browned.
