Sopaipilla Recipe from Quartzsite Gathering

Several of you had asked for Betty's Sopaipilla Recipe that we enjoyed Saturday morning at the Quartzsite Gathering. 

Sopaipillas/Fry Bread

6 cups warm water (115 degrees), 4 TBSP oil, 4 TBSP sugar, 4 packs yeast, 2 TBSP salt, 12 cups flour

In a large bowl combine water and sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top to soften. Add salt, oil and 6 cups flour. Beat well. Add remaining flour a little at a time. Mix well with hands. Allow dough to rest 10 minutes, punch down, let rest 10 minutes. Do this 5 times. 

Turn small amounts out onto floured board. Knead 2-3 times. Flatten with hands. Cut with knife into shapes. Let rest 30 minutes. Fry in hot oil. Turn one time. Put on paper towels and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

(This recipe also makes regular bread or hot rolls. Bake at 400 degrees up to 30 minutes until browned)

Thanks go out to Betty for sharing her recipe, Catherine for her hard work in frying the sopaipillas, and to our daughter and Catherine for getting up early to mix and knead the dough.
