Recipe of the Month “FRY BREAD”
FRY BREAD – by Aroha Tamihana
Ingredients
Makes: 20-25
1 cup chilled Milk
¾ cup boiling Water
1 Tbspn Dried Active Yeast
1 Tbspn Sugar
4 Tbspn Oil
4-4 ½ cups Flour
1 ½ tsp Salt
Oil for frying
Method
* Combine the boiling water and chilled milk in a large bowl. Test temperature with finger to make sure it’s not too hot (will kill yeast), or too cold (yeast won’t activate)
* Add sugar, oil, and yeast, and stir. Set aside for 10-15 minutes until sponge-like from yeast activating.
* Add 4 cups of flour and the salt. Fold together gently, being careful not to overmix. Add more flour if it’s still too sticky (usually another ½ cup is required).
* Gently knead together into a ball, then leave in bowl and cover with a tea towel. Leave to proof until doubled in size (approx 1 hour).
* Remove risen dough from the bowl onto a lightly oiled bench (oiling instead of flouring the surface makes for cleaner oil when frying).
* Gently pat the dough out to a 2cm thick rectangle and cut into 6cmx6cm squares. Should make approx. 20 pieces. Spread out the pieces on an oiled surface, cover with a tea towel and leave to proof for another 15 minutes.
TIP: Roll the edge of a dinner plate along the dough to cut instead of a knife. This will seal the edges and produce a more ‘pillow-like’ outcome.
Heat a medium size pot of oil to 165°C. Make the oil deep enough so that the dough won’t be touching the base and can float while cooking.
TIP: To check temperature is hot enough, place end of a wooden spoon in the oil. If it bubbles, the oil is ready. Oil is too hot if the dough goes golden brown too fast and the inside is still doughy/uncooked.
Gently place dough in the hot oil in batches and cook until golden brown, approx. 30 seconds per side.Once cooked, remove from oil and transfer onto a paper towel-lined dish. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
New Zealand
In the month of June we have celebrated the culture of New Zealand. Residents had the privilege to experience traditional music, dance and food (hungi).
Roseneath Residents and Staff come together and enjoyed participating in learning the cultural values from the country of New Zealand and its Maori People.

Poem of the Month
NOW
With the past as a brilliant teacher
And the future as a beckoning light
She rode the buoyant waves of now–
Reveling in the cool, wet sparkle of being.
