Time 1h30m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 cup whole milk, room temperature
1/4 cup warm water, plus more as needed
Safflower oil or lard, for frying
Unsalted butter, honey, jam, and confectioners' sugar, for serving

Steps:

  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add milk and water, stirring with a fork until a sticky dough forms. Transfer to a floured work surface and knead a few times with floured hands just until smooth (do not overwork or bread will be tough). Return to bowl and cover with a kitchen towel; let stand 30 minutes.
  • Heat 1 inch of oil to 365 degrees over medium-high in a heavy pot or deep-sided skillet. Pinch an egg-sized piece of dough with your fingers and flatten to an approximate 6-inch round (keep remaining dough covered and dust hands with flour if dough sticks). Cut a small slit in center of round with the tip of a knife (this will ensure the bread cooks evenly). Carefully lower into oil and fry, turning once, until puffed in places and golden brown on both sides, about 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels and repeat with remaining dough (return oil to 365 degrees between batches). Serve warm or at room temperature with butter, honey, jam, and confectioner's sugar.

Tips:

  • When making the dough, be sure to knead it well until it is smooth and elastic. This will help the fry bread to be chewy and delicious.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when frying the fry bread. This will cause them to stick together and not cook evenly.
  • Fry the fry bread until it is golden brown on both sides. This will ensure that it is cooked through and crispy.
  • Serve the fry bread immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include honey, butter, cinnamon sugar, or powdered sugar.
