American Indian Fry Bread Recipe
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup warm water
Oil for frying (vegetable, canola, or your choice)
Instructions:
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add Water:
Gradually add the warm water to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. The dough should be soft but not too sticky. If it’s too dry, add a little more water; if it’s too wet, add a bit more flour.
Knead the Dough:
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Rest the Dough:
Place the dough back in the bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rest for about 30 minutes.
Shape the Dough:
Divide the dough into 8-10 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and then flatten it into a disk about 1/4 inch thick. You can use your hands or a rolling pin for this.
Heat the Oil:
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat about 1 inch of oil to 350°F (175°C). You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small piece of dough into it; if it sizzles and browns quickly, the oil is ready.
Fry the Bread:
Carefully place a dough disk into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown on one side, then flip and fry the other side. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Drain and Cool:
Remove the fry bread from the oil and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serving Suggestions:
Savory: Serve fry bread with taco toppings (often called “Indian Tacos”) like ground beef, lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, and salsa.
Sweet: Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with honey and serve as a dessert or sweet snack.

How many does it make?

NDN 🌮 Tacos my favorite food 😮 HEE-CHA.
Thank you my shima’ loves it
Oppression food
We indians don't use baking powder to maki ‘Puri’ we just use wheat flour and make a simple dough and deep fry it in oil
One cup of water to 2 cups of flour would give you almost 100% hydration. That is way too high for AP flout. Probably want to be a lot closer to 1/2 c water. A Tbsp of oil also for softness.
Yum
Just use biscuits. Better taste same result.
Kurds make this bread too
My Jamaican Indian step dad would make these every Saturday 😊
Making this TODAY!!

Simple clear instructions. Now I get it! TY
I wanna also try coconut oil. I amd just experimenting. I will get it right. We have a native community and i love their frybread. I want to see how i got the semi hollow that i made today. That would be a pita! Lol😂
I use warm milk. It tasted great. My recipe had 2 tbs of baking powder. I am going to try water and less baking powder.
What’s even easier and faster? Get pre made pizza dough, or even pre “cooked” and fry away. You can thank me later😝
Thank you for sharing😊
