Description
Traditional Indian Fry Bread is a cherished Native American dish known for its crispy outside and fluffy inside. Made with simple ingredients, it's perfect on its own or as a base for savory meals like Indian tacos.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup warm water (approximately)
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- Slowly add warm water, mixing until a soft dough forms. Add more flour if sticky.
- Knead dough gently on a floured surface until smooth. Cover and rest for 30 minutes.
- Divide dough into 6 equal portions and roll each into a flat circle about ¼ inch thick.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat.
- Fry each dough circle until golden and puffed, about 1-2 minutes per side.
- Drain on paper towels and serve warm.
Notes
- Ensure oil is hot enough to prevent greasy bread.
- Add cornmeal for texture or herbs/garlic for savory flavor.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar for a sweet version.
