Ingredients
- 3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 cups hot water
- 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, add flour, baking powder, and salt and whisk by hand to combine.
- Pour 1 cup of water into the bowl, and using a dough hook, mix the dough on medium speed. Gradually add more of the water until all the flour has absorbed water and the texture is a slightly sticky dough that clings slightly to the sides of the mixer. I ended up using 1 ¾ cups of water.
- Once everything has come together and the dough is smooth, remove it from the mixing bowl and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover and let the dough rest for 45 minutes to an hour.
- When the dough has rested, dump it onto a lightly floured surface and divide it all into 2-inch rounds. Roll them all out about ⅛ to ¼ inch thick. You can either roll them with a rolling pin or flatten and stretch them using your hands. Use more dusting flour as needed.
- Add the vegetable oil to a skillet and heat it up over medium-high heat. When the oil is ready, begin frying the frybread one bread at a time by carefully placing them in the oil, frying for 2-3 minutes per side.
- The fry bread should puff up and be a golden brown color. When they are done, remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to soak up any excess oil.
- Allow them to rest a little before serving.
Notes
- Fry bread can be salty or sweet! From Navajo tacos and chalupas to coating them in cinnamon sugar and enjoying as dessert.
- You can store leftovers at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days, although these are really best enjoyed fresh!
