Description

Discover the delicious tradition of Indian frybread with this easy-to-follow recipe that’s perfect for enjoying with sweet or savory toppings!


Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup warm water

Vegetable oil for frying


Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

Gradually add warm water to the flour mixture, stirring until a dough forms. Knead the dough for a few minutes until smooth and elastic.

Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.

Divide the dough into 6-8 equal-sized balls.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out each dough ball into a circle or oval shape, about 1/4 inch thick.

In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

Carefully place one dough round into the hot oil and fry for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and puffed up. Use tongs to gently flip the frybread.

Remove frybread from the oil and drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining dough rounds.

Serve warm with your choice of toppings, such as honey, powdered sugar, jams, savory chili, beans, cheese, or lettuce and tomato for Indian tacos.
