For best results, ensure the oil temperature remains consistent throughout the frying process. Do not overcrowd the pan while frying, as this will lower the oil temperature and result in greasy fry bread. Adjust the amount of water as needed to achieve a soft, pliable dough. The consistency is key to light and airy fry bread. Fry bread is best enjoyed fresh. However, leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in a toaster oven or skillet.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Pour vegetable oil into a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, ensuring it's at least 1 inch deep. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). (Approximately 5-7 minutes)
02
Step
2 mins
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. (Approximately 1 minute)
03
Step
7 mins
Gradually add the water, a little at a time, to the dry ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough briefly in the bowl until it comes together into a smooth ball that is no longer sticky. You may not need to use all the water. (Approximately 5 minutes)
04
Step
8 mins
Pinch off pieces of dough about the size of a plum. On a lightly floured surface, gently flatten each piece into a disk approximately ½ inch thick. (Approximately 10 minutes)
05
Step
6 mins
Carefully place the flattened dough disks into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry for 1½ minutes on each side, or until golden brown and puffed up. (Approximately 6-8 minutes per batch)
06
Step
2 mins
Remove the fry bread from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels or napkins to drain excess oil. (Approximately 2 minutes)
07
Step
1 mins
Serve immediately while still warm and crispy. Offer a variety of toppings such as honey, maple syrup, jams, whipped cream, or your preferred savory accompaniments.
