Description
Indian Frybread is a traditional Native American flatbread that’s deep-fried until golden and puffy. It’s a versatile bread that can be served as a sweet treat with honey and powdered sugar or used as a base for savory dishes like tacos.
Ingredients
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup warm water
• Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• Gradually add the warm water, stirring until the dough comes together.
• Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 5 minutes.
• Let the dough rest, covered, for about 30 minutes.
• Divide the dough into small balls, then flatten each ball into a disc about 1/4 inch thick.
• Heat a large skillet with about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat.
• Fry each piece of dough for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
• Drain on paper towels and serve warm.
Notes
- The hole in the center of the dough helps it cook evenly and prevents it from puffing up too much.
- Indian Frybread can be customized with various toppings, from savory (such as ground beef, lettuce, and cheese for a “frybread taco”) to sweet (such as honey, powdered sugar, or jam).
