Navajo Fry Bread

I can't explain why but the last couple of months all I have craved is fry bread. I keep looking for someone to make me some. I, finally, talked my husband into making me some only to find the recipe is so easy, I can have it every day (and I should!)
I'm sharing two variations that I have in my recipe files. We've tried the first one which is so easy that I don't know why I kept the second. Make sure your dough is not overly sticky otherwise you'll never get it rolled out. We cut our dough into squares but you can pat it into tortillas and fry. We used about 1/2 inch of oil in our frying pan for our small pieces which worked perfectly. Watch them because they do burn.
