2 packages dry yeast
4 Tablespoons soft butter
2 Tablespoons sugar

6 cups white flour
Place water in bowl. Sprinkle yeast over water and allow to stand in a warm place for 5 minutes. Add butter, sugar salt and flour. Knead awhile, adding a tad more water...or flour to proper consistency. It will make a stiff dough. Allow to rise in large bowl covered by a towel in a warm place for 1 hour. Place lard or oil in a large deep sauce pan and heat to almost boiling. Form dough into 4 inch discs about 1/4 inch thick and fry until golden brown on each side. Drain over paper towels on serving plate. Serve with butter, jam, sugar, cinnamon sugar, or what ever you like...or make ³Indian Tacos² as you would any other taco replacing tortillas with fry bread.
Note: Frying in lard is best and make a small hole in the center of each before frying!
