Instructions
 

Preparation for all Fry Breads

  • In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients for your chosen fry bread recipe.
  • Gradually add warm water, mixing until a soft, pliable dough forms.

Frying Instructions

  • Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep pot over medium-high heat.
  • Pinch off golf ball-sized pieces of dough and flatten them into thin disks.
  • Carefully place the dough disks into the hot oil and fry for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown and puffed.
  • Remove the fry bread with tongs and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve basic fry bread with honey or jam, sweet fry bread with a sprinkle of powdered sugar, and herbed fry bread with a savory dip or as a side to a meal.

Notes

For best results, ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the dough. Adjust seasoning to your preference.
