Frybread
This traditional Frybread is a soft and chewy flatbread with a crispy golden exterior. Perfect as a base for savory dishes like Indian Tacos or enjoyed simply with honey or powdered sugar as a delicious treat!
Equipment
- Deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pan with oil
- Tongs for flipping and removing frybread
- Paper towels for draining excess oil
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add warm water, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a round disc about 1/4-inch thick using your hands or a rolling pin.
- In a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pan, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully place each dough disc into the hot oil. Fry for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown and puffed. Use tongs to flip and remove the frybread.
- Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve warm with sweet toppings like honey or powdered sugar, or use as a base for savory dishes like Indian Tacos.
Notes
- Optional Equipment: A thermometer can help maintain oil temperature for even frying.
- Customization: Add a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar for a sweet twist.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for crispiness.
- Serving Tip: Top with fresh berries and whipped cream for a dessert-style frybread.
