I Tried the Indian Fry Bread

The Indian Fry Bread recipe I posted yesterday didn't work out so well for me.  It was probably the cooking method I employed.  I patted the entire recipe of dough into a 12 inch round and fried it in a dutch oven over charcoal.  It didn't rise.  The result was a very heavy one inch thick by 12 inch frisbee weighing a bout 2 1/2 lbs.  OOPSIES.
