Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup warm water
- 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Slowly add the warm water to the dry mixture while stirring with a wooden spoon or hand until a sticky dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 3-4 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and shape each into a ball. Flatten each ball into a round disc about 6 inches in diameter.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of dough in—if it sizzles immediately, the oil is ready.
Carefully place one dough disc into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the bread is golden brown and puffed up.
Use tongs to remove the fry bread and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining dough portions.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings! For a sweet option, drizzle with honey or sprinkle with powdered sugar. For a savory twist, use as a base for tacos or top with chili and cheese.
