Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup warm water
- 2 cups vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup pizza sauce
- 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup mini pepperoni slices
- 0.33 cup diced bell peppers
- 0.25 cup sliced black olives
- 4 pieces fresh basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Slowly add the warm water, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into four equal portions and shape each into a flat round disk, about 6 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.
Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy skillet or deep frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Carefully fry each dough disk individually for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the fry breads onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over each fry bread, leaving a slight border around the edges.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly across the fry breads, followed by mini pepperoni, diced bell peppers, and black olives.
Dust each pizza with garlic powder and optionally a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
Bake the fry bread pizzas in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and garnish each pizza with freshly torn basil leaves before serving.
Enjoy your Fry Bread Pizza with a Twist while warm and crispy!
