Yesterday evening I was going to have nice, indian food with rice. The only thing lacking was bread to dip in the sauce, you know, indian style. I didn't find the bread I wanted in the supermarket (everytime I find anything at all in that place I'm surprised...), so I decided to make my own. The problem was, or the first problem I should say, was that my apartment doesn't have an oven in it. So, how do you make bread without an oven? You fry it.
After a bit of browsing on the internet, I found a nice site with recipes for different kinds of native american fry bread. Here comes my next problem. Almost every recepie had baking powder in it. HOW THE FUCK shall I find baking powder in a store where:
1.nobody speaks english,
2.the milk doesn't go bad even if it is stored out of the fridge for 3 months (i.e. there's no logic), and
3. the only description on EVERY SINGLE PRODUCT is in either czech or slovak?!
The answer is, you don't. Luckily I found a recipe where yeast was used instead of baking powder. It only took about 15 minutes of running back and forth in the food store to find it.
The bread, by the way, turned out really good. It's looks like thin bread and tastes like something between pancakes and bagels, and it's very good served warm with either butter or honey. The recipes you can find here:
