Making Fry Bread (How we were taught)

This we how we make our fry bread. A very simple recipe. Remember everyone makes their fry bread different and each fry bread is unique. :-) Our recipe doesn't use measuring utensils but more so "hand memory" lol so bear with us.

If you want a recipe using measurements, here's one you can use from Indian Country Today:

Traditional (Old Fashioned) Indian Frybread

Makes 16 frybreads

4 cups all-purpose white flour

2 tablespoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

2 cups warm water

About 2-½ cups vegetable oil or shortening for frying

In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually stir in the water until dough becomes soft and workable without sticking to the bowl. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface 5 minutes. Return dough to bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let rest 30 minutes to allow it to rise.

Shape dough into 16 evenly-shaped balls. Place a piece of the dough between your hands and pat it from hand to hand as you would pizza dough, or roll out to ½-inch thickness on a lightly floured board. (For crispier bread, roll dough to ¼-inch thickness.) Pat or roll the dough until it stretches to about 10-12 inches in diameter. Repeat with the rest of the dough.

Cut or poke a small hole in the center of each piece to prevent breads from bursting during frying.

Pour about 1-½ inches of oil into a large frying pan and heat over medium heat until the oil shimmers—hot but not smoking.

Carefully place a dough round into the hot oil, taking care not to let the hot oil splash. Cook until dough turns golden brown and puffs, about 1 to 2 minutes. Turn over with a fork and cook until both sides are golden brown.

Remove and drain on paper towels or a brown paper bag until excess oil is absorbed. Repeat the process with each piece of dough. Keep warm between two clean kitchen towels in the oven set on low or warm.

Serve immediately.
