Cowboy Bread Recipe

In a large bowl stir together the water milk and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let stand for 5 minutes to dissolve.

Stir the egg and butter into the yeast mixture then stir in the salt nutmeg and 2 cups of the flour. Mix until everything is well blended. Mix in remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time until the dough pulls away from the side of the bowl. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead for 10 minutes (no cheating!). Place dough into a greased bowl and let rise until doubled in size.

Divide the dough into 8 balls and let rest for another 20 minutes. Roll each ball out to 8 to 10 inches in diameter.

Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Fry each of the pieces of bread fro 30 to 60 seconds on each side or until light to medium brown spots appear. Keep covered with a damp cloth or store in a plastic bag until serving.
